The connection in plain pop3 is always in clear; if you just want to hide what you are typing just suppress local echo on the telnet client and type blindly. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Murad Talukdar [mailto:talukdar_m () subway com] Inviato: giovedì 1 aprile 2004 5.47 A: security-basics () lists securityfocus com Oggetto: pop3 over telnet and clear text passwords I often use pop3 over telnet to check on email boxes some users have.(ie that they've been setup properly) How do I mask the fact that the username/password is transmitted as clear text?(If I can?)
