SSH Tunnel

SSH Tunneling

This is a quick blog post to let my mate Ollie know about a few ways that I use SSH and how it is useful.

Firstly, a SSH client connects to a SSH server, logs in with either a password or certificate and communicates over an encrypted tunnel. The beauty of SSH is that it is also easy to tunnel other types of traffic such as HTTP or VNC over the tunnel. This is useful for the following:

> Secure Administration of a remote server.
> Secure File transfer.
> Securing web traffic over a non-secure wired or wireless network.
> Bypassing of restrictions and filtering imposed on the local network.

SSH Tunneling Full Tutorial

SSH Tunneling the Pretty Way

This is just a quick post about a nice little tool I found that allows you to setup and save your SSH tunnels and then quickly bring them up when required. Why might you want to do this? Well theres plenty of reasons. They range from it feels geeky, to you're paranoid about those kids in the coffee shop with the "Hack Naked" stickers on there laptops, to just because you can.

Now this guide does assume that you have a SSH server that you can get too and its running Privoxy on port 8118.

The tool is Gnome SSH Tunnel Manager (gSTM) and is available from http://gstm.sourceforge.net the repositories.

apt-get install gstm

Now, a quick reminder of the manual way:

ssh -NL 8118:localhost:8118 synjunkie@ssh_server_ipaddress

Then point your browsers proxy at localhost:8118

And now the pretty way.

Create The Tunnel

Open gSTM from Applications > Internet Menu, and enter your SSH server details. Click Add to configure the port redirection settings and click OK.



Save the settings by clicking OK.



Now you have a tunnel that is saved for you and can be started by Clicking on the Start Button.


Configure The Browser

Now you need to tell Firefox to use your tunnel. Open Firefox Preferences from the Edit menu in Firefox and amend the network proxy settings.



Now you can safely browse the web

You could make this even more seamless by adding a Firefox extension to allow you to have multiple proxy configurations set up and simply select which one you want using drop down list on the toolbar. Switch Proxy works well for this.


Check The Tunnel

You can test that your traffic is being tunneled by using Netstat, Etherape, TCPDump or a number of other tools. Bellow I have used Netstat.



I can see that I am making connections to local port 8118 and that the only external web traffic is going to my SSH server.

Free ICMP Tunnel

On the computer network a person feels himself not comfortable with all those security measures implemented (firewalls, proxy servers, Router Access lists…), these measures are very important to protect users but even if all these perimeters are installed we can have a good opportunity to eliminate and bypass them.
Usually there are some standard protocol that are allowed on any network (HTTP/HTTPS, SMTP, POP…) and even for these protocols traffic do not directly go to outside network but it passes by NAT over getaways that will scan and block non legitimate packets.
ICMP protocol has been used by system administrators to send error messages—indicating, for instance, that a requested service is not available or that a host or router could not be reached and while ICMP is required and do not cause a big threat from the security prospective you can find it enabled on most network.

Creating a Subdomain On Localhost

Create subdomains through cPanel or DirectAdmin is quite easy, but what if you want to create subdomains on localhost or local computer?
Here’s a guide to make a subdomain on localhost using WAMP.

What Is Squid Proxy Server

Squid is a Unix-based proxy server that caches Internet content closer to a requestor than its original point of origin. Squid supports caching of many different kinds of Web objects, including those accessed through HTTP and FTP. Caching frequently requested Web pages, media files and other content accelerates response time and reduces bandwidth congestion.
A Squid proxy server is generally installed on a separate server than the Web server with the original files. Squid works by tracking object use over the network. Squid will initially act as an intermediary, simply passing the client's request on to the server and saving a copy of the requested object. If the same client or multiple clients request the same object before it expires from Squid's cache, Squid can then immediately serve it, accelerating the download and saving bandwidth.

Set Squid Proxy Outgoing IP

last week had me working on setting a squid proxy server with multiple IP/domains. the plan was to have squid route outgoing traffic to as many IPs that the server carries. the server only has one physical interface. the rest of the IPs are tied to it via aliases or a virtual interface. you can easily do this with the following command:

Bit Torrent Tutorial

The first things you need to know about using Bit Torrent:
-- Bit Torrent is aimed at broadband users (or any connection better than dialup).
-- Sharing is highly appreciated, and sharing is what keeps bit torrent alive.
-- A bit torrent file (*.torrent) contains information about the piece structure of the download (more on this later)
-- The method of downloading is not your conventional type of download. Since downloads do not come in as one big chunk, you are able to download from many people at once, increasing your download speeds. There may be 100 "pieces" to a file, or 20,000+ pieces, all depending on what you're downloading. Pieces are usually small (under 200kb)

Bandwidth Explanation

BandWidth Explained

Most hosting companies offer a variety of bandwidth options in their plans. So exactly what is bandwidth as it relates to web hosting? Put simply, bandwidth is the amount of traffic that is allowed to occur between your web site and the rest of the internet. The amount of bandwidth a hosting company can provide is determined by their network connections, both internal to their data center and external to the public internet.


Network Connectivity

The internet, in the most simplest of terms, is a group of millions of computers connected by networks. These connections within the internet can be large or small depending upon the cabling and equipment that is used at a particular internet location. It is the size of each network connection that determines how much bandwidth is available. For example, if you use a DSL connection to connect to the internet, you have 1.54 Mega bits (Mb) of bandwidth. Bandwidth therefore is measured in bits (a single 0 or 1). Bits are grouped in bytes which form words, text, and other information that is transferred between your computer and the internet.

75 Reasons Your Home Network is Not Secure

If you think that home network security is as simple as turning on a router, think again. There are many common missteps that can seriously reduce the security of your home network. Any one of them can pose serious risks from a data security standpoint. These mistakes typically fall into one of four major categories: software issues, hardware issues, network setting problems and user errors. The following list includes 75 of the most common reasons for compromised home network security; read through them to make sure that your own network is truly security.

10 Complaints About Comcast Internet Service

It didn’t take much research to make me glad that I’ve never had to use Comcast for my internet service. There are whole websites set up for unhappy customers to vent their frustration. The FCC and the Better Business Bureau, along with congressional subcommittees, have been flooded with complaints from unhappy consumers. Although the list seems to be endless, I’ve tried to condense it into ten major concerns.

10 Internet Activities That Are Do-able On Dial Up Internet

If I were forced to use dial up I would have to slash my wrists and sit in the hot tub. When people first started using the internet, dial up speed was adequate to handle most applications. As websites and emails became more evolved with pictures, videos and sophisticated graphics, the dial up connection just can’t keep up. If you’re still too cheap to upgrade to high speed and you have a lot of time on your hands, there are still a few things you can do on the internet with dial up.

What Is Proxy Server ?

What is a Proxy Server?
A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service to allow clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. A client connects to the proxy server, then requests a connection, file, or other resource available on a different server. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy may alter the client's request or the server's response for various purposes.
