SSH Tunelling Problem

Okay, I set up OpenSSH and Privoxy (on windows xp home sp3, not that I think it's relevant) I got it wall working fine, and it worked for the filter I wanted to get around, but then when I try connect from school it doesn't connect.

Using "Putty for U3" and it worked from elsewhere, just not at school. I get the error "Network connection timed out" or something of those sorts.

I know the computer was running and I managed to connect via FTP to it, but the SSH wont connect. Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Firewall/router either at your home or the school.

Forwarded the port(s)? Allowed outside access? Test SSH from your school with a working SSH server, see if your school is blocking SSH traffic.

Yeahh, I can definitely get outside access, that's what I was using it for to start with :]

and It looks like the school's blocking SSH traffic then. I'm guessing that's not going to be easy to get around? :(

SSH over HTTP.

SSH over HTTP.

http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html[/quote] If they blocked SSH, it's likely that is blocked also.

And you could just set your PC up as a web server, and use various scripts for whatever you may wish to do, as an alternative.[/quote]

Thanks Spy, I'll give that a try next chance I get.

and Mosh, I'm hoping to get around the filter for various things, so I don't think that'd work. I already do that with certain things though, on the webspace they host themselves xD. It's a much better way to get on flash games.

If anyone else has any other suggestions I'md appreciate it, I'll only have a small amount of time to try them each day, so I'd rather get a massive chunk of things to try then I can do them all at once rather than waiting for another opportunity.

Thanks guys

HTTP(s) is blocked :+

Riiiiight.

…

What, they use MitM attacks to decrypt your https traffic to see the shell commands you are sending?

Or wait, of course, they just block http altogether :+

I haven't been to your school, but I damn well know your sysop(s) won't be able to stop someone from doing this.

SSH over DNS? Use OzymanDNS scripts

Did you try compiling this ?

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    char input[500];
    while (true)
    {
    cout << "Enter command: ";
    cin.getline(input, 500);
    cout << endl;
    system(input);
    cout << endl;
    }
    cout << endl;
    system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

You can use a USB drive right?

I'm in a similar situation as x_5631, but I didn't think there was a way around it. Thanks spy, I can't wait to try that monday :P

@hellboundhackersok

USB devices cannot be used on a non-admin user. Again, instant ban.

The answer seems pretty obvious to me.

Oh, sorry I missed that. That's weird. Don't you ever have to save a document to a USB drive (a project, essay, etc)?

What about firewire/CDs? firewire was probably overlooked….But, finding something that uses them will be a bit of a pain And not that it does much good since your programs would be blocked.

However, you could try making a swf file to execute your programs or javascript http://www.action script.org/resources/articles/28/1/Launch-Applications-using-Flash/Page1.html has a basic example of launching a program from flash. Still would probably get you banned, if they designed there system right…
