It was a Star Wars inspired animation, brought to you by Telnet!
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl 23
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*It's worth watching the entire thing.*

Remember that telnet communication is all over plaintext, so don't accidentally leak any secrets. Have fun discovering the quirky old world of Telnet!
