This is true, Whenever possible try to use SSH or configure the
device/server for SSH. I like to use Putty but feel free to use the SSH
client flavor of the day.

hey, winsoc

all telnet sessions send  plain-text passwords over the network, it is
not a 
secure connection, any type of wireshark / ettercap type sniffer will be

able to intercept your login / passwords

Hey list,



can anyone confirm if 3270 Terminal Emulators which use Telnet to
communicate (tunnel) 3270 sessions, are susceptible to sniffing?

Ie. Is it possible to sniff the logins on that network?



Regards

winsoc
