Re: Default Telnet Port
Port forwarding is safe as long as daemon that is listening on that port is not vulnerable/exploitable.
Rules for complete safety are two:
- protocol should be safe (telnet is not safe, ssh is safe)
- daemon listening on the port should be up to date and not exploitable (buffer overflows, malformed request or other tricks that hackers use to exploit systems)
