Oh gee, the point is not the fact that sshd can or cannot be compromised. You can do anything you like with software, as you so well know. The point is that the use of software that is by default and by design INSECURE is asking_for_trouble. So in cases where you would like your network to be secure, you should ensure that the data you send out through the transit medium (ethernet, wireless, wide are networks) _cannot_ be hijacked by a third party. Telnet by default does not provide this kind of assurance. Ssh at the very least _attempts_ to do so. Therefore it is my conclusion that telnet when used for remote shell purposes DOES NOT have a place in a secure network. > Go all the way? You're just going to install it, bat naman "circumcision"?. Sure, install it. No problem. But use it for remote shells? Absolutely NOT. > > Kaya nga, secure ur network always, etc. Be wise sa security.. lahat nang > topics about security..
