Consider this scenario: you are stuck behind a merciless filter and BBS is your only coms with the outside world. Assuming you have Win10 and you can only use non-http services/ports like telnet and ftp, what software would you have to have? Could you do everything you need to do this way?

Think of it like a desert island scenario, or as if you got suddenly transported to the early 90s (with a Win10 laptop). What software, bare minimum, do you have to have to survive?

I pose the question this way to get some input on the best tools as I am getting familiar with this scene after being gone 26 years.

Actually older window's versions are better suited for BBS'S.
If it has to be windows 10 I would need netrunner or syncterm, and note+++ for sure

I've heard BBSes are still popular in China for this reason (the Great Firewall of China and the filtering their government does)..

If Windows 10 is all I have then I will just suck my gun. It is quicker.

Is your real name John Titor?


I've never touched Windows 10. If I was stuck with Windows 10.

I, would say powershell, EMACS , a few terms, gHIDRA & GNURADIO
