An Excruciatingly Detailed Guide To SSH (But Only The Things I Actually Find Useful) · Graham Helton

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.

@farrokhi With nested ssh sessions, be sure to count your tildes right.
