Welcome We’ve all seen these great diagrams of how SSH port forwarding works but if your brain is anything like mine, these diagrams leave you with a lot of unanswered questions. If you’re on a red team, understanding how to traverse a network better than the people who designed it gives you immense power to do evil things. SSH is such a powerful tool but sometimes the syntax and other concepts can get in the way of us accomplishing our goals.

Back in University (2010-2013), I lived in a dorm on campus that had internet through the university’s network.

It was extremely cheap and fast (100/100 at equivalent to 3 USD per month), but Internet access was metered with a max of 50 GB / month.

However, access to University resources was not metered, and every student had ssh access to the datacenter.

That -D was a godsend.

The D is a godsend, lol.
