Reverse Telnet is a technique that allows a device, typically a network device or embedded system, to establish a connection back to a host computer over a network, typically using the Telnet protocol. It reverses the traditional Telnet usage where a client connects to a server. In Reverse Telnet, the device acts as a client, connecting back out to a server that can then communicate with it.
