2/3 what's the best free telnet program that supports ssh, etc?
I remember someone posted a name a while ago but can't remember
the program's name. it is a small program with no install! thx.
\_ Uhm, by definition, telnet != ssh. They have nothing to do
with each other. Why not just use ssh?
\_ PuTTY, use google
a lot of people also use Tera Term Pro with the TTSSH extension
\_ i used it but not anymore, IT guy saw everything in the
clear (including pwd) snooping packets even with TTSSH
extension
\_ have you ever stopped to consider that maybe you're just
stupid? sorry, stupid question.
\_ used port 22 twink w/ ttssh extension, still got it
\_ reconsider.
\_ just spell it out, if i got into soda using
tera term pro and ssh and port 22, how can
he see my password in the clear still?
\_ If you connected to port 22, and didn't do proper
key exchange, then teraterm wouldn't have even
prompted you for a password. Try it for fun
(and profit!). telnet localhost 22.
\_ But you know what? A supposed ssh client that
doesn't tell even somewhat clued users that
it is transmitting cleartext is not well-
designed. That sounds like reason enough to
use one of the alternatives.
\_ i am unclear as to how you concluded that
the user is somewhat clued.
\_ See that's just it. It doesn't. Did you
verify that it did yourself?
\_ I'm confused by this. How did the user get
an ssh connection in clear text??
\_ Stupid, Nasty admin, he plays tricksies on
Poor, Innocent user!
\_ Fat, Stupid, Nasty adminses!
\_ you forgot greasy and virginal.
\_ you'd think that such a big hole would have been reported
or fixed by now
\_ maybe IT guy has a keylogger installed on your system?
\_ putty also has versions of scp (pscp) and sftp (psftp). |
