This is off-topic, but everyone here seems to understand SSH much better than I, so hopefully you won’t mind answering a question I can’t seem to unearth through the usually means of google, man pages, or HOWTOs.
I would like to “chain” SSH sessions. (Or maybe that should be tunnel SSH through another SSH session?) This question came about during a happy hour discussion, “How do you maintain anonymity if you can’t trust the first encryptor in the chain? (And you don’t want to be seen using the second.)” Pictures always work best for me. . . [Client(me, PuTTY)] ->SSH A-> [Commercial Anonymizer] ->SSH B-> [Private Anonymizer] --> [Proxy] --> [Web page] Desired behavior of this mess: [Commercial Anonymizer] can’t read anything being sent. [Private Anonymizer] can read, but only knows traffic is coming from [Commercial Anonymizer]. [Proxy] only knows traffic is coming from [Private Anonymizer]. (but that’s standard I think) Restrictions: You have no control over the [Commercial Anonymizer] and you might have control over the [Private Anonymizer]. (Well in our “scenario” we had anonymously bought a hosting package with SSH privileges for the [Private Anonymizer], so probably full control over the [Private Anonymizer] ) Intellectual pursuits are sometimes more interesting than real work. . . Any answers would be great, as well as suggestions for alternate methods for accomplishing the same. Even just a link to where someone has already done it would be nice.
