security of your machine when connecting to exposed server via ssh
if somebody gains control of the server i'm connecting to using ssh (creating a socks tunnel)
does he have access to my machine? i am behind a router, acting as a firewall, not giving access to ports on my machine from outside the network how about when forwarding a single port? (port 80), do they still have access? |

since the way ssh works for tunneling is creating another ssh connection from server to host(my machine), doesnt this mean they have access for execution of commands?

Looks like something you could do the groundwork for yourself: create your SSH tunnel (you never listed if you were using a reverse tunnel or not BTW), log in on the remote host, then try to execute commands through your tunnel.

dear unSpawn
i'm using the reverse tunnel for bypassing some restriction (a SOCKS proxy), that's what the -D option does (reverse tunnel), right? |
"-D" just means dynamic and using it doesn't make it a "reverse tunnel".

thank you unSpawn!! a lot
