How to get data from telnet using python without authentication

So guys, how can i retrieve data from telnet using host and port but without any authentication, without any password or login. On my terminal when i give command: telnet <myhost> <myport> it spits out bunch of data from the machine that is connected to that.

This is the data: 

Trying <MyHost>...
Connected to <MyHost>.
Escape character is '^]'.

connect.write("sh ip int br\n")
connect.write("sh ver\n")

time.sleep(1)
print(connect.read_very_eager())
print("===============================================")
Solution

  • Use python sockets. Specifically, copy the 'echo client' code from here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#example with your host/port.
