Comment on Transparent Multi-Hop SSH

Comments

I do this to access work machines from home. The only problem with the technique is that some organizations and malware detection software consider netcat to be a "hacking" tool and remove it. This is particularly common on Windows servers.

Newer OpenSSH has a netcat mode built-in http://blog.rootshell.be/2010/03/08/openssh-new-feature-netc...

With -W, the articles examples could be rewritten to

  Host ruapehu
    HostName ruapehu.example.com

  Host aoraki
    ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p ruapehu

  Host tongariro
    ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p aoraki
