Having an open telnet port the default configuration of the esp8266 is insecure: Anyone with access to your network can take control of your all your esp8266 devices, not even needing a password. IoT botnets are a reality for a few years (e.g. Mirai), I just wonder:
-Why is this the default configuration?
-How to disable the telnet port, other than building a custom firmware?
