The TELNET Protocol Mozafar Bag mohammadi Netprog: TELNET 1 Telnet Telnet date back to late 1960s is generally consider the first network application. – There are several RFCs are listed at the end of the lecture. Uses a client/server model to define a standard way in which to interact with a remote system. – The telnet protocol is the basis for many protocols » FTP, HTTP, SMTP, NTTP just to name a few. They don’t open a telnet connection, just use the protocol. Netprog: TELNET 2 Telnet (2) While telnet should be a very simple protocol, it’s not. – It has to deal with all communications methods that different terminal and computers use. – It ensures compatibility between the terminal types and computers and still allow the special features used. Netprog: TELNET 3 TELNET vs. telnet TELNET is a protocol that provides “a general, bi-directional, eight-bit byte oriented communications facility”. telnet is a program that supports the TELNET protocol over TCP. Netprog: TELNET 4 The TELNET Protocol TCP connection data and control over the same connection. Network Virtual Terminal negotiated options Netprog: TELNET 5 Network Virtual Terminal All communications uses a standard terminal called NVT – The client takes input, translates into NVT sends it to the server, which translates to the representation that the computer uses. – Special Telnet commands are interspersed with the data to perform the functions needed for the operation of the protocol Netprog: TELNET 6 Network Virtual Terminal Server Process NVT NVT TCP TCP Netprog: TELNET 7 Telnet Netprog: TELNET 8 NVT ASCII Control Codes Three mandatory codes – 0, Null » No operation, no effect on output – 10, Line Feed » Moves printer to the next line, keep same print position – 13, Carriage Return » Moves the printer to the left margin of the current line Netprog: TELNET 9 NVT ASCII Control Codes(2) Optional Codes – 7, Bell – 8, Back Space » Move the print position one character to the left – 9, Horizontal tab – 11, Vertical Tab » devices negotiate to agree on tab stops – 12, Form Feed » next page or clear the screen and put cursor at the top Netprog: TELNET 10 NVT ASCII Control Codes(3) End of line marker – Since different computers use different standards for the end of line marker, – CR+LF is defined as the end of line marker. Netprog: TELNET 11 Negotiated Options All NVTs support a minimal set of capabilities. Some terminals have more capabilities than the minimal set. The 2 endpoints negotiate a set of mutually acceptable options (character set, echo mode, etc). Netprog: TELNET 12 Negotiated Options The protocol for requesting optional features is well defined and includes rules for eliminating possible negotiation “loops”. The set of options is not part of the TELNET protocol, so that new terminal features can be incorporated without changing the TELNET protocol. Netprog: TELNET 13 Option examples Line mode vs. character mode echo modes character set (EBCDIC vs. ASCII) Netprog: TELNET 14 Control Functions TELNET includes support for a series of control functions commonly supported by servers. This provides a uniform mechanism for communication of (the supported) control functions. Netprog: TELNET 15 Control Functions Interrupt Process (IP) – suspend/abort process. Abort Output (AO) – process can complete, but send no more output to user’s terminal. Are You There (AYT) – check to see if system is still running. Netprog: TELNET 16 More Control Functions Erase Character (EC) – delete last character sent – typically used to edit keyboard input. Erase Line (EL) – delete all input in current line. Netprog: TELNET 17 Command Structure All TELNET commands and data flow through the same TCP connection. Commands start with a special character called the Interpret as Command escape character (IAC). The IAC code is 255. If a 255 is sent as data - it must be followed by another 255. Netprog: TELNET 18 Looking for Commands Each receiver must look at each byte that arrives and look for IAC. If IAC is found and the next byte is IAC a single byte is presented to the application/terminal (a 255). If IAC is followed by any other code the TELNET layer interprets this as a command. Netprog: TELNET 19 commands WILL option (to Enable an option) – Response is either » DO option, indicate agreement and enable option » DONT option, initiator must not use the option. WONT option (to disable option) – Response must be » DONT option, option is disabled. Netprog: TELNET 20 Command Codes IP AO AYT EC EL 243 244 245 246 247 WILL WON’T DO DON’T IAC Netprog: TELNET 251 252 253 254 255 21 Telnet Options When a option needs more parameters – Use SB (subnegotiation) and SE (end subnegotiation )command Example: negotiate the terminal type – (IAC is interpret as command) IAC WILL Terminal-type IAC DO Terminal-type IAC SB terminal-type SEND IAC SE IAC SB TERINAL-TYPE IS <type> IAC SE Netprog: TELNET 22 Playing with TELNET You can use the telnet program to play with the TELNET protocol. telnet is a generic TCP client. – Sends whatever you type to the TCP socket. – Prints whatever comes back through the TCP socket. – Useful for testing TCP servers (ASCII based protocols). Netprog: TELNET 23 Some TCP Servers you can play with Many Unix systems have these servers running (by default): – echo – discard – daytime – chargen port 7 port 9 port 13 port 19 Netprog: TELNET 24 telnet hostname port > telnet rcs.rpi.edu 7 Trying 128.113.113.33... Connected to cortez.sss.rpi.edu (128.113.113.33). Escape character is '^]'. Hi dave Hi dave stop it stop it ^] telnet> quit Connection closed. Netprog: TELNET 25 telnet vs. TCP Not all TCP servers talk TELNET (most don't) You can use the telnet program to play with these servers, but the fancy commands won't do anything. – type ^], then "help" for a list of fancy TELNET stuff you can do in telnet. Netprog: TELNET 26 RFCs The first RFC specifically defining Telnet was RFC 97, First Cut at a Proposed Telnet Protocol, published in February 1971. Telnet Protocol Specification, was published as RFC 854 in May 1983. Telnet Option Specifications, RFC 855 Netprog: TELNET 27
