ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question
Your company is lifting a legacy service that still relies on plaintext Telnet for administration. The EC2 instance runs in a private subnet protected by a network ACL that currently drops all traffic except established responses. To permit administrators to reach the service from a jump host, which single inbound rule must be added to the ACL?
Allow TCP traffic on port 22 from the jump host's CIDR
Allow UDP traffic on port 23 from the jump host's CIDR
Allow TCP traffic on port 21 from the jump host's CIDR
Allow TCP traffic on port 23 from the jump host's CIDR
Telnet operates exclusively over the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) on well-known port 23. Allowing TCP port 23 inbound from the jump host's address range enables the interactive Telnet session to be established. Opening TCP port 22 would allow SSH, not Telnet. Port 21 is reserved for FTP control, and UDP port 23 would not match the connection because Telnet does not use UDP.
