   How to handle the port 23 script kiddies   
   14 Mar 18 00:41:13   
   
   I really do want to keep my port 23 open, so that my users can telnet to my   
   BBS.   
      
      But as most of you probably know, there's a huge operation going on with   
   hijacked computers trying to connect to other port 23 computers.   
      
      Well, if you like me have Argus setup to answer incoming port 23 calls, you   
   probably know that there's very little double escape character response. So   
   how do you handle this?   
      
      In the Doors setup the only nonprintable character available is the escape   
   character (a backslash). If character/return had something like that it would   
   be much easier. But here's how I've done it:

      Originally I was planning on sending a huge response (as in typing a big   
   exe-file) but I abandoned that idea since it meant that my system was hanging   
   after the remote system quickly disconnected.   
      
      But the 'type' command does not compute (you need 'cmd type' to make it   
   work), so the connection swiftly is disconnected.   
      
      As always: RFC...  8-)
