SSH tunnel/forwarding

Post by **ayu** » 09 Feb 2009, 10:19

I have done it before, and tried it on my school, but for some reason I couldn't make it work =/

Can someone help me with tunneling SSH? I need to create a tunnel (or simply forwarding) that I can use to forward a port on my school, to another server, like I connect to SSH that is listening on port 2000 on localhost, and it connects to SSH on my school server which then redirects it to a random server, like a webserver or maybe an IRC server.

The idea is to use the schools server to reach the net when my net is fucked up, which has been happening a lot recently, but I can get as far as to my school, and from the schools server I can access the net, but they don't have many tools that I can use.

Anyway, I'll read around a little, and edit the thread if I find a solution before anyone answers ^^

Is there a firewall blocking ports? Have you done a port scan to see what all ports are open? Is it possible to piggyback on known open ports? Just throwing some ideas out there.

I'm unsure of the network structure, since they have a pretty good eye on it. Port scanning will risk me getting banned automatically, and I got a warning just a few hours after I tried to login as root to use the ports under 1024 : /

But, I'll research some more, thanks

The thing is, most schools tend to block out all traffic besides from HTTP and a few others..

You could try setting your listening port on the SSH server to 443 or 80.

Make sure you've port forwarded as well..

Good luck!
