## **Basic Information**
Telnet is a network protocol that gives users a UNsecure way to access a computer over a network.
**Default port:** 23
2022-05-01 13:25:53 +00:00
```
23/tcp open telnet
```
2022-05-01 13:25:53 +00:00
## **Enumeration**
2022-05-01 13:25:53 +00:00
### **Banner Grabbing**
```bash
nc -vn <IP> 23
```
All the interesting enumeration can be performed by **nmap**:
```bash
nmap -n -sV -Pn --script "*telnet* and safe" -p 23 <IP>
```
2022-05-01 13:25:53 +00:00
The script `telnet-ntlm-info.nse` will obtain NTLM info (Windows versions).
2022-05-01 13:25:53 +00:00
In the TELNET Protocol are various "**options**" that will be sanctioned and may be used with the "**DO, DON'T, WILL, WON'T**" structure to allow a user and server to agree to use a more elaborate (or perhaps just different) set of conventions for their TELNET connection. Such options could include changing the character set, the echo mode, etc. (From the [telnet RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc854))\
**I know it is possible to enumerate this options but I don't know how, so let me know if know how.**
