RT @tqbf: Google takes an affirmative step towards finally killing off DNSSEC, deploys MTA-STS. https://security.googleblog.com/2019/04/gmail-making-email-more-secure-with-mta.html …
Surely the /main/ purpose of SSH over r-commands is that it encrypts the session? it's not like I go use rlogin or rsh when I bypass DNS and go directly to an IP address.

The encryption is good and important but at the time (it’s hard to get your head around it today) the big concern was spoofing and that people had “+ +” rhosts files.

I dunno, I remember helping with the transition and telnet way outnumbered r-*, and regardless of which tools you used the main concern I heard was "your password and your data can be sniffed" and that's how we sold it.

Pretty sure a fair amount of routers still require telnet or login.
