If I'm only going to be connecting using connections I know are secure, is there still any benefit of using SSH over Telnet?
>SSH over telnet
What the hell? Why don't you just use SSH on its own?
There is literally no reason to use telnet over SSH. The only time I telnet is into my phone for Remote Keyboard.

I mean using ssh instead of telnet.
ssh keys, compression, x11 forwarding, proxying, so on and so forth.
telnet is deprecated.
>>53832051
pfft nerd, hardcore hackers like myself use telnet
>>53832150
telnet is too pleb. use nc.
>>53831911
How do you know for sure they're secure?
Never use telnet if SSH is an option

changing the default port is a meme. anyone with nmap will see that something's listening on port 31337 or whatever, and from there it's about 300 milliseconds to think "I'll try to ssh to it". I'd be shocked if script kiddies scripts didn't automatically try this.
security through obscurity, isn't.

True, but it reduces the amount of chinese boots trying to brute force
>>53832599
just use rsa keys like everyone and their mother

>what is port-knocking
>>53832639
Port knocking isn't proof against replay attacks, and has nothing to do with changing the default ssh port.
