First lesson free. The full module is part of Pro.

You'll be able to

  • ✓Explain the pivot model and why direct access is often blocked
  • ✓Set up SSH local port forwarding to reach an internal service
  • ✓Route arbitrary TCP traffic through SOCKS5 with SSH dynamic forwarding
  • ✓Build a fast TCP tunnel using Chisel and relay traffic with Socat
