11/25/2008 - First public release of beta version

The first public release of telnetrecon has been posted to the project web site. This release includes the pre-compiled binary and the Visual Basic 6 source code of the version 0.1. This is not a major release yet because many features are missing. Especially the fingerprint database is very small and contain two example fingerprints only. Help to improve the project and upload new fingerprints of known telnet daemons.

04/09/2008 - Preparation for first release

The public release of telnetrecon 1.0 can be expected for the next two weeks. The current work is concentrating on the last optimizations of the data gathering and enumeration functions. Furthermore, as many telnet fingerprints as possible are collected. You are able to help to improve the fingerprint database before the official release. Just send me IP addresses and port numbers of public telnet servers in the Internet so I can collect the service fingerprints myself. Of course, the final release of the software will contain an upload feature for fingerprints as like httprecon have had it before.
