Workshop: Python + Telnet = Muhahahha!!!

Date: Friday, July 31st, 2020

Time: 2:00 - 3:00 PM (ET)

Have you heard that you should never, ever use Telnet anymore? Sure, Telnet is horribly insecure, but did you know you can effectively control much of the Internet with good old Telnet? Don't believe it? Then come and learn how to use Python to do some web server reconnaissance and how to build your own IRC bot that is all powered by Telnet! Note: All skill levels (beginner to advanced) are welcome to attend and you are not required to download/run any code to participate in the workshop.

If you want to download, run, and/or modify the code, I have posted it to my Projects page under the fun name of Telnet Muhahaha! under the GNU Affero GPL 3 (AGPLv3) open source software license. I've tested it on Linux and Windows and the program works great. Those that are using a VPN might have issues connecting to some IRC servers. So, that is a network problem and not an issue with my program.
