Telnet

This chapter contains an example of a basic FUDO configuration, to monitor Telnet connections to a remote server. In this scenario, the user connects to the remote server using Telnet client and logs in using individual login and password. FUDO authenticates the user against the information stored in the local database, establishes connection with the remote server and starts recording.
