# IoT Telnet Shell (telnetshell)

This skill enables interaction with IoT device shells accessible via telnet for security testing and penetration testing operations. It supports unauthenticated shells, weak authentication testing, device enumeration, and post-exploitation activities.

## Prerequisites

- Python 3 with pexpect library (`pip install pexpect` or `sudo pacman -S python-pexpect`)
- telnet client installed on the system (`sudo pacman -S inetutils` on Arch)
- Network access to the target device's telnet port

## Recommended Approach: Telnet Helper Script

**IMPORTANT**: This skill includes a Python helper script (`telnet_helper.py`) that provides a clean, reliable interface for telnet communication. **This is the RECOMMENDED method** for interacting with IoT devices.
