The following are some of the benefits of telnet:
# It allows a user to log in to a remote computer and execute programs. # It is a common utility in the TCP/IP protocol suite and is thus as widely implemented many platforms. Therefore a telnet client program is usually easily available.
# It can be used to administer most enterprise class network equipment by connecting to the device and executing built-in configuration and status programs. # It may be used to debug network services such as SMTP, IRC, HTTP, FTP or POP3. The person testing would use telnet to connect to the service and so send commands to the server and consequently examine the responses in order to make analyses. How to exploit the benefits is a little involved and problem specific. For example, the following links and indicated sections show how it may be used to debug SMTP and POP3 e-mail protocols:
