Telnet is a network protocol used on the internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. It is typically assigned to port 23. Telnet is known for not encrypting its communications, which poses a security risk. As a result, it has largely been replaced by Secure Shell (SSH) in most secure environments where privacy and integrity of the transmitted data are concerns.
