CHAPTER 20

Remote Login: TELNET

and SSH

Exercises
1. The pattern is:

11110011 00111100 11111111 11111111

Note that the last byte is duplicated because it is the same as IAC; it must be
repeated to be interpreted as data.

3. To do the task in Exercise 1, we need to send:

Client to Server: IAC DO BINARY (3 bytes)

Server to Client: IAC WILL BINARY (3 bytes)
Client to Server: 11110011 00111100 11111111 11111111 (4 bytes)

If each transmission is encapsulated in a single TCP segment with 20 bytes of

header, there will be 3 segments of 23, 23, and 24 bytes for the total of 70 bytes or
560 bits.

5. If we assume the useful bits are the 3 bytes of data from Exercise 1:

(3 bytes of data) / (216 transmitted bytes) ≈ 1:70 ≈ 1.42 percent

13. One of the common client/server remote login program is called putty.The client
putty program can be freely downloaded and installed on your local computer. If
the remote server that you have account on is using the putty server program, you
can easily use this software. It provides both SSH, TELNET.
