What is Telnet ?
Telnet is an old network protocol that is used to connect to remote systems over a TCP/IP network. It connects to servers and network equipment over port 23. Let’s take a look at Telnet command usage.
Disclaimer
- Telnet is not a secure protocol and is thus NOT RECOMMENDED!. This is because data sent over the protocol is unencrypted and can be intercepted by hackers.
- Instead of using telnet, a more preferred protocol to use is SSH which is encrypted and more secure
Let’s see how you can install and use the telnet protocol.
Installing Telnet
In this section, we will walk you through the process of installing telnet in RPM and DEB systems.
Installation of Telnet in CentOS 7 / RHEL 7
To begin the installation process on the server, run the command
# yum install telnet telnet-server -y
Next, Start and enable the telnet service by issuing the command below
# systemctl start telnet.socket
# systemctl enable telnet.socket
Next, allow port 23 which is the native port that telnet uses on the firewall.
# firewall-cmd –permanent –add-port=23/tcp
Finally, reload the firewall for the rule to take effect.
# firewall-cmd –reload
To verify the status of telnet run
# systemctl status telnet.socket
Creating a login user
Specify the password and confirm. To use telnet command to log in to a server, use the syntax below.
$ telnet server-IP address
$ telnet 38.76.11.19
Installation of Telnet in Ubuntu 18
To install telnet protocol in Ubuntu 18.04 execute:
$ sudo apt install telnetd -y
To check whether telnet service is running, execute the command.
$ systemctl status inetd
Next, we need to open port 23 in ufw firewall.
$ ufw allow 23/tcp
Finally, reload the firewall to effect the changes.
$ ufw reload
Using telnet to check for open ports
Telnet can also be used to check if a specific port is open on a server. To do so, use the syntax below.
$ telnet server-IP port
For example, to check if port 22 is open on a server, run
$ telnet 38.76.11.19 22
Summary
This tutorial is an educational guide that shows you how to use telnet protocol. We HIGHLY DISCOURAGE the use of telnet due to the high-security risks it poses due to lack of encryption. SSH is the recommended protocol when connecting to remote systems. The data sent over SSH is encrypted and kept safe from hackers.
Introduction
A port is a communication endpoint. Within an operating system, a port is opened or closed to data packets for specific processes or network services.
Typically, ports identify a specific network service assigned to them. This can be changed by manually configuring the service to use a different port, but in general, the defaults can be used.
The first 1024 ports (port numbers 0 to 1023) are referred to as well-known port numbers and are reserved for the most commonly used services. These include SSH (port 22), HTTP (port 80), HTTPS (port 443).
Port numbers above 1024 are referred to as ephemeral ports.
In this tutorial, you will open an ephemeral port on Linux, since the most common services use the well-known ports.
Prerequisites
To complete this tutorial, you will need:
List All Open Ports
Before opening a port on Linux, you must check the list of all open ports, and choose an ephemeral port to open that is not on that list.
Use the netstat command to list all open ports, including TCP and UDP, which are the most common protocols for packet transmission in the network layer.
This will print:
- all listening sockets (-l)
- the port number (-n)
- TCP ports (-t)
- UDP ports (-u)
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:27017 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:6379 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::1:5432 :::* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::1:6379 :::* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN
udp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
Note: If your distribution doesn’t have netstat, you can use the ss command to display open ports by checking for listening sockets.
Verify that you are receiving consistent outputs using the ss command to list listening sockets with an open port:
This gives more or less the same open ports as netstat.
Opening a Port on Linux to Allow TCP Connections
Now, open a closed port and make it listen for TCP connections.
For the purposes of this tutorial, you will be opening port 4000. However, if that port is not open in your system, feel free to choose another closed port. Just make sure that it’s greater than 1023.
Ensure that port 4000 is not used using the netstat command:
Or the ss command:
The output must remain blank, thus verifying that it is not currently used, so that you can add the port rules manually to the system iptables firewall.
For Ubuntu Users and ufw-based Systems
Use ufw – the command line client for the UncomplicatedFirewall.
Your commands will resemble:
Refer to How to Setup a ufw Firewall Setup for your distribution.
- Ubuntu 14.0.4: “Allow Specific Port Ranges”
- Ubuntu 16.0.4/18.0.4/20.0.4/22.0.4: “Allowing Other Connections / Specific Port Ranges”
- Debian 9/10/11: “Allowing Other Connections / Specific Port Ranges”
For CentOS and firewalld-based Systems
Use firewall-cmd – the command line client for the firewalld daemon.
Refer to How to Set Up firewalld for your distribution.
- CentOS 7/8: “Setting Rules for your Applications / Opening a Port for your Zones”
- Rocky Linux 8/9: “Setting Rules for your Applications / Opening a Port for your Zones”
For Other Linux Distributions
Use iptables to change the system IPv4 packet filter rules.
iptables INPUT tcp ACCEPT
Refer to How To Set Up A Firewall Using iptables for your distribution.
- Ubuntu 12.04: “A Basic Firewall”
- Ubuntu 14.04: “Accept Other Necessary Connections”
Test the Newly Opened Port for TCP Connections
Now that you have successfully opened a new TCP port, it is time to test it.
First, start netcat (nc) and listen (-l) on port (-p) 4000, while sending the output of ls to any connected client:
Now, after a client has opened a TCP connection on port 4000, they will receive the output of ls. Leave this session alone for now.
Open another terminal session on the same machine.
Since you opened a TCP port, use telnet to check for TCP Connectivity. If the command doesn’t exist, install it using your package manager.
Input your server IP and the port number (4000 in this example) and run this command:
You’ll get an output similar to this, indicating that a connection has been established with the listening program (nc):
The output of ls (while.sh, in this example) has also been sent to the client, indicating a successful TCP Connection.
Use nmap to check if the port (-p) is open:
This command will check the open port:
Starting Nmap 7.60 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-01-18 21:51 UTC
Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1)
Host is up (0.00010s latency).
Other addresses for localhost (not scanned): ::1
PORT STATE SERVICE
4000/tcp open remoteanything
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.25 seconds
The port has been opened. You have successfully opened a new port on your Linux system.
Note: nmap only lists opened ports that have a currently listening application. If you don’t use any listening application, such as netcat, this will display the port 4000 as closed since there isn’t any application listening on that port currently. Similarly, telnet won’t work either since it also needs a listening application to bind to. This is the reason why nc is such a useful tool. This simulates such environments in a simple command.
But this is only temporary, as the changes will be reset every time you reboot the system.
Persisting Rules
The approach presented in this article will only temporarily update the firewall rules until the system shuts down or reboots. So similar steps must be repeated to open the same port again after a restart.
For ufw Firewall
ufw rules do not reset on reboot. This is because it is integrated into the boot process, and the kernel saves the firewall rules using ufw by applying appropriate config files.
For firewalld
You will need to apply the –permanent flag.
- CentOS 7/8: “Setting Rules for your Applications”
- Rocky Linux 8/9: “Setting Rules for your Applications”
For iptables
You will need to save the configuration rules. These tutorials recommend iptables-persistent.
- Ubuntu 12.04: “Saving Iptables Rules”
- Ubuntu 14.04: “Saving your Iptables Configuration”
Conclusion
In this tutorial, you learned how to open a new port on Linux and set it up for incoming connections. You also used netstat, ss, telnet, nc, and nmap.

Monitoring for an open port is a key security measure for securing a remote server. Hackers usually target compromised servers by analysing critical open ports. If a hacker manages to find such a port, he/she can use it to send illegitimate traffic or use it for gaining unauthorized access on remote servers.
What will we cover?
- Telnet
- Nmap
- Netcat
We will use a Ubuntu server to act as a remote server and Fedora 34 workstation as a client machine to connect to the server. Let’s get started now.
- Basic knowledge of computer networking.
- Internet access
1. Using the Telnet command to check for open port
TELNET is a client/server application for remote login to a server with virtual terminal capability across a network. It uses TCP’s port number 23 over a TCP/IP network. RFC 854 defines the specification for the TELNET protocol.
To install the TELNET server on our Ubuntu server, use the below command:
‘telnetd’ daemon is a telnet server program that is started by the inetd daemon.
We will use the Fedora 34 workstation as a telnet client. To install telnet client on Fedora, use the command:
dnf telnet
Now we will use the telnet client on Fedora 34 to check for open ports on the Ubuntu system running the telnet server. Go to Fedora 34 workstation and open up the terminal and type the command:
Here ‘192.168.43.216’ is the IP of the Ubuntu server and ‘23’ is the default port for the telnet daemon running on this server.
A successful login means that port 23 is an open port on our Ubuntu server. Now let us try another port number ‘80’ with telnet:
We can see that port 80 is not open for making a telnet connection; hence it is closed right now.
Let us install the Apache webserver on the Ubuntu server. Apache, by default, uses port 80 for its http services. Again run the command:
From label 2 in the above figure, port 80 is now listening and open for http connection but closed for other types of connection.
Telnet does not provide encryption for the data being transferred; the password will be transmitted in plain text format.
2. Using Nmap to check for open port
Nmap is one of the most popular and advanced network scanner tools. It is open-source and freely available for Unix and Windows systems. NmapFE is a graphical version of the terminal-based nmap command. It has a vast feature set of operations like port scanning, protocol scanning, OS fingerprinting (OS detection), etc.
Let us install Nmap on our Fedora 34 client machine and scan for the ports on the Ubuntu server. To install nmap on Fedora 34, use the command:
After installing Nmap, open a terminal on the Fedora system and scan for the ports using:
For e.g., in our case, the IP of the remote server (Ubuntu) is 192.168.43.216, so the command will be:
The output of the above command shows that port 23 and port 80 are in an open state. We can also use the below command for open port detection:
With Nmap, we can also check for a specific port status. To check the status of port 80 running apache service and a random port 83, use the command:
$ 192.168.43.216
$ 192.168.43.216
From the above picture, port 83 is closed, and open port 80 is open for listening to apache http requests.
3. Using the nc (netcat) command to check for open port
Netcat is another tool that can be used for port scanning. It can also be used for opening TCP connections, sending UDP packets, etc. Netcat comes shipped with nmap:
nc IP_address Port
For example, to check port 22 and port 80, we will use:
$ nc 100ms 192.168.43.216
$ nc 100ms 192.168.43.216
We can see that port 22 is closed as the connection is refused. In the case of port 80 netcat connection is successful because Apache is installed on the Ubuntu server.
In this guide, we have explored various methods of port scanning on a remote system. Please be cautious while running these commands because scanning other networks without their permission is a legal offense.
Telnet is both a protocol allowing us to access a remote device to control it and the program used to connect through this protocol. The Telnet protocol is the “cheap” version of ssh, unencrypted, vulnerable to sniffing and Man In the Middle attacks, by default the Telnet port must be closed.
The telnet program, which is not the Telnet protocol, can be useful to test port states which is the functionality this tutorial explains. The reason why this protocol is useful to connect to different protocols such as POP is both protocols support plain text (which is their main problem and why such services should not be used).
Checking ports before starting
Before starting with telnet, let’s check with Nmap some ports on the sample target (linuxhint.com).
Getting started with Telnet to specific ports for testing purposes
As you can see in the example below the output says I’m connected to linuxhint.com, therefore the port is open.
The output is similar with port 80, now let’s try the port 161 which according to Nmap is filtered:
As you see the filtered port didn’t allow the connection to be established returning a time out error.
Now let’s try Telnet against a closed (not filtered) port, for this example I will use the port 81. Since Nmap didn’t report on closed ports before proceeding I will confirm it is closed, by scanning the specific port using the -p flag:
Once confirmed the port is closed, let’s test it with Telnet:
As you can see the connection wasn’t established and the error is different than with the filtered port showing “Connection refused”.
Then type “quit” and press ENTER.
Under Linux you can easily write a little shell script to connect through telnet with different targets and ports.
#! /bin/bash
#The first uncommented line will connect to linuxhint.com through port $
telnet linuxhint.com 80
#The second uncommented line will connect to linux.lat through ssh.
telnet linux.lat 22
#The third uncommented line will connect to linuxhint.com through ssh
telnet linuxhint.com 22
Connections only start after the previous was closed, you can close the connection by passing any character, In the example above I passed “q”.
Yet, if you want to test many ports and targets simultaneously Telnet isn’t the best option, for which you have Nmap and similar tools
About Telnet
As said before, Telnet is an unencrypted protocol vulnerable to sniffers, any attacker can intercept the communication between the client and the server in plain text accessing sensible information such as passwords.
The lack of authentication methods also allow possible attackers to modify the packages sent between two nodes.
Because of this Telnet was rapidly replaced by SSH (Secure Shell) which provides a variety of authentication methods and also encrypts the whole communication between nodes.
Testing specific ports for possible vulnerabilities with Nmap
With Nmap we can go far more than with Telnet, we can learn the version of the program running behind the port and we can even test it for vulnerabilities.
Scanning a specific port to find vulnerabilities on the service
As you can see, since it is LinuxHint.com server no vulnerabilities were found.
As you can see Nmap found a possible vulnerability (it was a false positive in this case).
You can find a lot of high quality tutorials with different port scanning techniques at https://linuxhint.com/?s=scan+ports.
The telnet command (short for teletype network) utilizes the telnet network protocol to connect to remote machines and manage them through a TCP/IP network. The protocol uses port 23 to establish a connection and provides a way to manage remote systems using the CLI.
Although telnet is similar to SSH, the two are different because SSH is a much more secure option as it uses encryption. telnet, on the other hand, sends data without encryption, making it an easy target for hackers.
In this tutorial, you will learn to use the telnet command in Linux.
- An account with root privileges.
- Access to the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T).
Installing Telnet in Different Linux Distributions
1. Update the system package repository to make sure the latest version is installed:
sudo yum update
sudo yum install telnet telnet-server -y
The command installs the two packages. The -y flag automatically answers Yes to any prompts during the installation.
3. After the installation completes, start and enable the telnet service by running:
systemctl start telnet.socket
systemctl enable telnet.socket
sudo firewall-cmd –permanent –add-port=23/tcp
5. Reload the firewall to apply the changes:
sudo firewall-cmd –reload
The telnet port is now allowed through the firewall.
Ubuntu and Debian-Based Distributions
1. Update the system package repository:
sudo apt update
Wait for the installation to complete. The service should start automatically.
3. Check if telnet is properly installed by running:
sudo systemctl status inetd
The output shows that the daemon is up and running.
4. Allow port 23 through the firewall on the remote machine by running:
sudo ufw allow 23/tcp
5. Reload the firewall:
sudo ufw reload
A vital prerequisite for using telnet is to have it installed on both the local and remote machine, and that the default port 23 is allowed through the firewall on the remote machine.
The syntax for the telnet command is:
Running the command without options or without specifying an address opens the telnet interactive mode:
Use the interactive shell to connect to remote servers, print the connection status, etc.
To end a session and exit telnet, run:
The sections below provide practical telnet use case examples.
Although it is not a secure option for establishing a remote connection, telnet is a great way to check if a specific port is open on a server. Check if a certain port is answering any calls by specifying the port number in the command. Doing so allows you to see what’s going on in a network and if a port is responsive or not.
2. Not specifying a port number defaults to port 23. For example, to check if port 22 is open on a server, run:
telnet google.com 22
The connection breaks, which means that the specified port is not open.
3. However, trying port 80 yields a different result:
The output shows that the port is open since the connection was established.
Download Web Page to File
2. After establishing the connection, download the HTML web page by running:
The screenshot above shows that the command has downloaded the homepage source code.
3. Save the code to a file or inspect it in the terminal.
Test SMTP Communication
1. Connect to the server via the SMTP port:
Important: Since May 2022, Google has prohibited access to Google accounts for less secure apps and won’t accept connections from telnet.
2. Greet the server with HELO or EHLO:
3. Specify the sender:
4. Specify the recipient:
5. Specify the subject and email body, separated by a blank line:
SUBJECT: This is the email subject.
“”
This is the email body.
Connect to Remote System
If you decide to use telnet for remote connections despite its lack of security, do it by specifying the remote machine’s IP address.
Make sure that telnet is installed on both machines and port 23 is allowed through the firewall on the remote machine.
After the connection is established, you are in control of the remote machine.
This tutorial showed how to use the telnet command in Linux. Although it has poor security features and isn’t recommended for remote connections, the command has other uses that make it beneficial.
Next, see how SSH works and why it is more secure than telnet.
Telnet (teletype network) is a network protocol for two-way text-based communication through a CLI, allowing remote access. Telnet is vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks because it lacks encryption methods compared to the more modern SSH. However, it is still helpful for tasks that do not involve transmitting sensitive information.
This article teaches you what Telnet is as well as how to use Telnet on Windows to test for open ports.
- Access to the command prompt
- An address and port to test
What is Telnet?
A client machine running the Telnet client connects to a CLI on a remote device, most commonly a dedicated platform. Telnet is lightweight and fast, making it the preferred option in some use cases:
- Initial network hardware configuration.
- Remote access to trusted internal networks.
- Testing for open or used ports.
- Troubleshooting mail and web servers.
- Checking port forwarding.
How Does Telnet Work?
The Telnet protocol creates a communication path through a virtual terminal connection. The data distributes in-band with Telnet control information over the transmission control protocol (TCP).
Telnet comes with a command accessible from the command line in Windows. The telnet command also exists for macOS and Linux operating systems.
How to Enable Telnet on Windows 10?
In Windows systems, Telnet is disabled by default. To check if Telnet is already activated, open your command line, and run telnet:
If the command prompt does not recognize the command, there are two possible ways to enable the Telnet client in Windows.
Enable Telnet using GUI
To activate the Telnet command using the GUI:
1. Open the Programs and Features options in Control Panel:
2. Click the Turn Windows features on or off setting:
3. Locate the Telnet Client option on the list, select it and click OK to install the feature:
4. When Windows completes the requested change, click Close.
5. Open the command prompt and run telnet to open the Microsoft Telnet Client:
6. Run quit to exit the Telnet client.
Enable Telnet Using Command Prompt
To activate the Telnet client from the command prompt:
1. In the command prompt, run:
2. Restart the command prompt and run telnet to open the Microsoft Telnet Client.
3. Run quit to exit the client:
How to Use Telnet in Windows to Test Open Ports
The Telnet syntax for testing open ports is:
The command accepts both symbolic and numeric addresses. For example:
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl 23
telnet 127.0.0.1 80
1. The command throws an error, indicating the port is not available for connection:
2. The command goes to a blank screen, indicating the port is available.
3. Running the command on an open port 23 displays the screen of the telnet host, confirming an established Telnet connection:
Note: Learn how Telnet differs from SSH in our comparison article Telnet vs SSH.
The Telnet communication protocol provides a way to establish a direct connection with a remote host. Although not a secure option for most tasks, there are use cases where Telnet is a viable option.
For further reading, check out the more secure option and learn how to use SSH to connect to a remote server in Linux or Windows.
