Telnet is a networking protocol that is used on the Internet or LAN to provide a bidirectional interactive Command line communication facility using a virtual terminal connection.Telnet was originally designed for the small institutions and security was not the concern.Telnet, by default, does not encrypt any data sent over the connection including passwords.The Telnet protocol uses various commands to control the client-server connection. These commands are transmitted within the data stream. The commands are distinguished from the data by setting the most significant bit to 1. (Remember that data is transmitted as 7-bits with the eighth bit set to 0) Commands are always introduced by the Interpret as command (IAC) character.
Communication is established using TCP/IP and is based on a Network Virtual Terminal (NVT). On the client, the Telnet program is responsible for translating incoming NVT codes to codes understood by the client’s display device as well as for translating client-generated keyboard codes into outgoing NVT codes.
The NVT uses 7-bit codes for characters. The display device, referred to as a printer in the RFC, is only required to display the standard printing ASCII characters represented by 7-bit codes and to recognize and process certain control codes. The 7-bit characters are transmitted as 8-bit bytes with the most significant bit set to zero. An end-of-line is transmitted as a carriage return (CR) followed by a line feed (LF). If you want to transmit an actual carriage return, this is transmitted as a carriage return followed by a NUL (all bits zero) character.
