Ensure telnet server is not enabled (Scored) The telnet-server package contains the telnet daemon, which accepts connections from users from other systems via the telnet protocol.


Parameter:

[exists/does_not_exist]


Technical Mechanism:

The telnet protocol is insecure and unencrypted. The use of an unencrypted transmission medium could allow a user with access to sniff network traffic the ability to steal credentials. The ssh package provides an encrypted session and stronger security. Fix: Remove or comment out any telnet lines in /etc/inetd.conf: #telnet stream tcp nowait telnetd /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.telnetd
