In short, yes. But it isn't that simple. You must be a user on the machine and have proper rights to be using the telent aspect of the system. Once connected, hypothetically to a linux box let's say, you can enter commands as if you were in front of the keyboard at the local machine. Telnet, however, is a protocol that is slowly becoming outdated. It is far wiser, whenever possible, to use ssh instead of telnet. Ssh is a secure shell as opposed to telnet which sends all information in plain-text across the internet. With ssh, all traffic is encrypted. Basically, when you connect to a linux box with a telnet server running, you are transmitting your username and password to anyone listening. With ssh, they are both encrypted, making it an infinatley more secure way of communicating.

i think you mean scan the ip for open ports then telnet to them but this isn't really done any more except for telnet port (23), pop (110) and smtp (25). even then netcat is better. you can scan the port, see whats on them and do a fair job of finding out the OS all in one shot:

nc -vv -n -w 1 xxx.xx.xxx.xx 20 21 23 25 80 110

or

nc -vv -n -w 1 xxx.xx.xxx.xx 1 - 1024 >>scan.txt

although this can be done with less "noise", this illustrates the principle

yes i am a newb and for some reason i cant get netcat to work...can anyone help me out and tell me why...also does anyone know how to bind something to an exe file...the reason i need this is because my gf's dad is very strict and he looks at everything in her e-mail i wanted to send her a message like this...anyone wanna help me out?

Your gf's dad reads her email?? Holy crap! Unless he's pretty adept at using computers she could just have another (secret) email account and you could send stuff like this to her that way. I haven't tried netcat on this comp bc I somehow thought it was like nmap.....something that shouldn't be used with windows. I've seen people bind trojans with exe files....but other than that I have no experience with binding things with exe files. Besides, there must be an easier way to slip stuff to your girlfriend. (I personally don't use trojans for several diff reasons)

If you want to sent her something for her eyes only, hide the message in a jpeg file use a steganography program. there's a bunch of free ones out there. maybe this is what you mean by "bind". other than that it's like keezel said.

as far as netcat goes what os are you using and did you get a version made for it? what happens when you tupe NC at the command prompt?

maybe this girl has respect for her father who obviously cares allot about her to take the time to watch over her. This type of story is refreshing compared to those of parents that blame the internet or socity in general for their shortcomings as parents when something bad happens.
