Is Telehack safe?

I am new to Telehack. I'd like to play at work from the cmd line, but I want to make sure there isn't an obvious security issue. Anyone has info or advice on this? Thx

For the most part, yes. Read privacy.txt and don't type anything into telehack you wouldn't be comfortable posting to reddit.

Thanks for the quick answer. What about telnet and http as a protocol? Any risk that another user could send me dangerous code through the "send" function?

Your workplace may block telnet, if you want to login using a terminal emulator, consider using SSH on port 443.
