This question requires that you evaluate the underlined text to determine if it is correct.
All session data is “encrypted between all machines” while using telnet.
Select the correct answer if the underlined text does not make the statement correct. Select ‘No change is needed” if the underlined text makes the statement correct.
A. Not encrypted
B. Encrypted between any Windows machines
C. Encrypted only to any non-Windows machines
D. No change is needed
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Telnet, by default, does not encrypt any data sent over the connection (including passwords), and so it is often practical to eavesdrop on the communications and use the password later for malicious purposes; anybody who has access to a router, switch, hub or gateway located on the network between the two hosts where Telnet is being used can intercept the packets passing by and obtain login, password and whatever else is typed with a packet analyzer.
