Tested with

Using kTelnet

A simple example using the default Telnet implementation:

   private final static int THREADS = 20;
   private final static int PORT = 2121;

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
         /*
          * telnet
          */
         final TelnetServer telnetServer = new TelnetServer(PORT, THREADS, new BasicShellFactoryImpl());
         telnetServer.start();
         /*
          * wait
          */
         Thread.sleep(1000);
         System.out.println("Press any key to exit");
         System.in.read();
         /*
          * shutdown
          */
         telnetServer.shutdown();
      } catch (final Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
         System.exit(0);
      }

Implemented RFC's

Telnet options are enumerated here

Login

Login is implemented by passing an implementation of AuthenticationHandler to the shell constructor. A simple properties file based implementation PropertiesFileAuthenticationHandlerImpl is provided.

Custom shells

Custom shells can be implemented by extending the classes ShellFactory, BasicTelnetCommandRegistryImpl and AbstractCommand. A very simple shell which implements the "quit" command is provided: BasicShellImpl

Logging

kTelnet supports logging at the byte level via NVTSpy. A console implementation ConsoleNVTSpyImpl and a log file implementation LoggingNVTSpyImpl are provided.
