Tunneling, def. transmitting data in one protocol encapsulated inside another protocol. Theoritically, it is impossible for a firewall to detect if you're browsing the web or tunneling an SSH connection in your HTTP request. For example, a typical "default configuration" Squid HTTP proxy server (yes, proxy is one of the many firewall techniques) allows only HTTP requests to port 80 on target machines; the proxy server itself accepts connections on port 8080. In your case, I'm assuming that you would like to tunnel an SSH connection through HTTP. This can easily be achieved using several tools such as httptunnel. -- Artagnon (.com) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
