I've been told that I can reveal the passwords of my users by sniffing port 23. I've tried this, but it doesn't seem to work, all I can see is the user's username. In this case, is security a concern with telnet? Why go to the extra trouble of SSH when telnet *seems* safe in the first place? The only way I've been able to retrieve passwords is by sniffing ports 110 and 143, but I'm a little more concerned with the telnet accounts. Any ideas on this?
