I hate this server. Every single time someone talks about Telnet mentions this site for past FIFTEEN or TWENTY YEARS as something novel.

ITs not obscure, not unknown or special - it's the most known talent site on earth.

It was made AFIR to show capabilities of ffmpg ASCII/ANSI renderer.

Real gems are SDF.ORG, TWENEX.ORG, or Cray 1 supercomputer Access, bbses and backdoors.

Ps. Telnet can be run and it is DAILY inside of the telecoms and one of few ways to speak with BSC, RNC, RRUS and individual basebands(even ultra fresh with 5G). All over IP/SEC and isolated networks. You MUST know if you are serious about computer business hehe

AUDIT people also loves it - you can record entire session of Chinese or Swedish engineer doing some new shit to basebands. This or logging entire screen

Don't think it's dead.

It was a jewel of the Internet, yes the one telnet site everyone knew (the ONE and ONLY) and I'm genuinely sad to learn it's gone--it was still there last time I tried it.

And it definitely wasn't using ffmpeg, it was bespoke hand-typed ASCII

  • apt-get install telnet (or whatever the package is called).

    Then:

    telnet SDF.org

    get freeish forever Unix shell account.
