# Introduction Welcome to the Supernatural Academy's digital realm, a place where the lines between magic and technology blur. As the academy's esteemed Librarian of Digital Arts, you are in charge of safeguarding the ancient and mystical texts that have been digitized for the 21st century. However, with great digitization comes great responsibility—the security of these texts relies on a well-maintained and secure network. In this lab, you will be thrust into the supernatural realms of network connections. You will learn how to use `telnet`, an almost arcane utility in the realm of network administration, to connect to remote systems and manage resources. While it is an older tool, understanding its mechanics is crucial for any aspiring Network Sorcerer. The ultimate goal of this lab is not only to learn and master the `telnet` command but also to enhance the security of our Supernatural Academy's library by successfully connecting to and interacting with remote magical archives without leaving traces for potential digital warlocks to follow. Prepare your wands and keyboards; this is where your adventure begins.
