There are various ways of attacking those ports and sockets to gain access to the underlying system. It doesn't matter what it's coded in, though in some cases, with poor coding, it may be less secure. Telnet is not a remote shell. Telnet is a network application the transmits and receives IP packets in clear text and connects to a network service on a remote host. You can telnet to any open port on a remote machine, and "talk" to that port. Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subversion Kills Productivity.
