SSH tunneling: bypass (almost) any firewall easily

A new article has been published on PolishLinux.org. It's about using SSH tunnels to bypass unwanted firewall rules. More on: SSH Tunnels: Bypass (Almost) Any Firewall

It's diggable too, at:
http://digg.com/security/SSH_Tunnels...t_Any_Firewall

It's a good start for those who need to bypass the firewall rules, at work or at home.

i do this all the the time, it's often refered to as punching holes in firewalls, it can be blocked with some smart layer 7 filtering or proxying though
