Telnet and ssh remote connections
Introducction
well for the new people telnet is this according to wikipedia
Telnet (teletype network) is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive communications facility. Typically, telnet provides access to a command-line interface on a remote host via a virtual terminal connection which consists of an 8-bit byte oriented data connection over the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). User data is interspersed in-band with TELNET control information.
and in linux the manual description of the command "telnet" tell this:
The telnet command is used for interactive communication with another host using the TELNET protocol. It begins in command mode, where it prints a telnet prompt ("telnet> "). If telnet is invoked with a host argument, it performs an open command implicitly
let's start
my WDTV-live is in the direction 192.168.1.102, one way for obtain this information is see in your router also in the machine go to Settings>System setting>System information there is your Ip address or go to Network setting>Network setup.
then in linux u can type this:
telnet 192.168.1.105
well what the hell are we doing,we are trying to enter like the Administrator(root) or Super User
then you will see something like this
pint0@debian:~$ telnet 192.168.1.102 Trying 192.168.1.102... Connected to 192.168.1.102. Escape character is '^]'. WDTVLIVE-6f1ec login: root Password: #
NOTE:there is not password the first time
now we can change the password,you must type this in the terminal
passwd
and type two times your password.
this is the output of that command
# passwd Changing password for root New password: Bad password: too weak Retype password: Password for root changed by root
well done, now you have the root access and have a password,now you can use ssh access.
ssh Access
Secure Shell or SSH is a network protocol that allows data to be exchanged using a secure channel between two networked devices. Used primarily on GNU/Linux and Unix based systems to access shell accounts, SSH was designed as a replacement for Telnet and other insecure remote shells, which send information, notably passwords, in plaintext, rendering them susceptible to packet analysis. The encryption used by SSH provides confidentiality and integrity of data over an insecure network, such as the Internet.
in linux your can do this:
1.-open a terminal,if you use gnome go to Applications>Accessories>Terminal
2.-type ssh root@your_ip
or ssh your_ip -l root
type your password and done
in windows you can do alot of things:
