netcat is a bit more flexable

PuTTY: http://www.chiark.gr...sgtatham/putty/

And you shouldn't be using telnet anyways. Use SSH (which PuTTY does as well).

I second Putty.

Thank you for fast replies!

I have only used putty as a client, but I have to say that I do love the client.

Install linux, all the tools you want...

I know that's not the answer you want but I just find it funny when people say 'omg wtf bbq I need t00lz t0 hax0rz' (I know you didn't say that, it's just a joke ) but all winxp crap that is anythign useful is just copies of unix/linux/bsd tools

So what would be the unix-like version of flashget?

[oneeyedelf1]

ahh I love flashget, use firefox and the flashgot extension. But use an olderversion and choose install with intention to register.
as for finding unix/bsd/linux similar tings, go to sourceforge.net and search download http ftp, and make sure you search for containing ALL words.

I've never tried flashget, but you might try http://downman.sourceforge.net/

I also say use putty, it's the best I've found for windows and it has ssh and other usefull things.

[pixelFiend]

I use cygwin for Win 2K and use SSH.

So?

Would linux "better suit his hacking growth"? Maybe, it totally depends on what he wants to do.

The "install linux problem solved" attitude is immature and fanboyish at best. You use whatever tools you need to get the job done. Using ssh in linux is no different than ssh via putty (other than the fancy gui) or cygwin in windows so why does it matter if it existed in one place first?

I'm not trying to be an asshole but if someone wants to learn linux, they will. I'm sure it's not the first time anyone on this board or anyone who comes here will have heard of it. If someone asks for a tool in another operating system, making "lol M$ lol" comments is just unproductive.

Not exactly the expert on SSH here, never had a reason to use it, but with SP2, didn't Gates get rid of SSH capability in Winblows?

[droops]

but with SP2, didn't Gates get rid of SSH capability in Winblows?

i use ssh everyday from my winxp_sp2 box. i do it from my linux boxen also.

what you are thinking about is now if you want to use the windows firewall you have to tweak it to allow ssh. you have to add an exception to the firewall on port 22.

Windows never had [built-in] SSH capability. I use putty every day in XP SP2 though, there's no breakage, so i'm not sure to which you refer.

I believe that's strictly for incoming ssh, no? When I looked at the XP firewall, it did not appear to support outgoing filters at all, or if it did it was not very well documented. I was looking to do a simple local outgoing filter, but found no way to do so. I ended up just doing the blocking with PF, which isn't really ideal since I only wanted the outgoing filter to apply to a single machine (it was to stop an application from phoning home).

[jedibebop]

sp2 supposidly removed some socket support stuff, maybe that's what you are thinking of
