is there any better telnet port that is more safe to use ?
retoric all internet service is based on telnet, so only ssl is a secui layer on top of it, all the remaining ports is basicly still telnet
If you keep an eye on your inbound traffic and immediately create a rule to "can" the IP or IP-range, you protect yourself a little better.
If it helps, I created a rule for fail2ban that supports the Mystic BBS log,
so it can block attacks, probes, etc.
I could adapt it to other softwares, if I am provided with appropriate log files.
Cheers.
