# 23 - Pentesting Telnet
## **Basic Information**
Telnet is a network protocol that gives users a UNsecure way to access a computer over a network.
**Default port:** 23
```text
23/tcp open telnet
```
## **Enumeration**
### **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>
```
The script `telnet-ntlm-info.nse` will obtain NTLM info \(Windows versions\).
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.**
### [Brute force](../brute-force.md#telnet)
## Config file
```bash
/etc/inetd.conf
/etc/xinetd.d/telnet
/etc/xinetd.d/stelnet
```
