Package: telnet-ssl Priority: extra Section: net Installed-Size: 175 Maintainer: Christoph Martin <christoph.martin at uni-mainz.de> Architecture: i386 Source: netkit-telnet-ssl Version: 0.17.17+0.1-2 Replaces: netstd Provides: telnet-client Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libncurses5 (>= 5.2.20020112a-1), libssl0.9.6 Conflicts: telnet, ssltelnet (<< 0.12) Filename: pool/main/n/netkit-telnet-ssl/telnet-ssl_0.17.17+0.1-2_i386.deb Size: 85134 MD5sum: 63a68f26b9d9303c807f4a7f78e30fe1 Description: The telnet client with SSL encryption support. The telnet command is used for interactive communication with another host using the TELNET protocol. . SSL telnet(d) replaces normal telnet(d) using SSL authentication and encryption. It interoperates with normal telnet(d) in both directions. It checks if the other side is also talking SSL, if not it falls back to normal telnet protocol. . Advantages over normal telnet(d): Your passwords and the data you send will not go in cleartext over the line. Nobody can get it with tcpdump or similar tools. With SSLtelnet you can also connect to https-server like https://www.netscape.com. Just do 'telnet www.netscape.com 443' -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> | a.k.a. ^chewie http://www.wookimus.net/ | s.k.a. gunnarr -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
