Greetings Everyone,
In this paper, I discuss a technique to get into your office computer
using ssh tunneling with some cool tricks. You don't need anything much
to implement this, not even an open port on the firewall. All you need
from your employer is the http(s) proxy which most of the companies
provide. This paper shows how an employee can ridicule the firewalls of
the company by facilitating the access to the company intranet using
easily available resources.
Here is the problem scenario - "You work with a company 'XYZ'. At
office, you cannot access internet directly and you 'browse' internet
using HTTP(S) proxy. Back at home, you have an internet connection. You
want to access the office computer from home, but you don't have the
VPN access." How do you do that? Read the paper for the solution.
Disclaimer: Please use your brain before using this technique. You can
be kicked out by your employer for using it. Don't blame me.
