Defeating Firewalls: Sneaking Into Office Computers From Home

manu · 2005-08-12T11:21:40+00:00

Greetings Everyone,In this paper, I discuss a technique to get into your office computerusing ssh tunneling with some cool tricks. You don't need anything muchto implement this, not even an open port on the firewall. All you needfrom your employer is the http(s) proxy which most of the companiesprovide. This paper shows how an employee can ridicule the firewalls ofthe company by facilitating the access to the company intranet usingeasily available resources.Here is the problem scenario - "You work with a company 'XYZ'. Atoffice, you cannot access internet directly and you 'browse' internetusing HTTP(S) proxy. Back at home, you have an internet connection. Youwant to access the office computer from home, but you don't have theVPN access." How do you do that? Read the paper for the solution.Disclaimer: Please use your brain before using this technique. You canbe kicked out by your employer for using it. Don't blame me.Here is the link to blog-entry:^manu---------Manu Garg"Truth will set you free!"

If there is actually applications that provide functionality that is needed, so much so that the user would be working remotely into their home computer, then the business would purchase it if there was ROI for it. If the user just needs access to the home computer for anything, they can wait until they get home.

I've never found a user that had a valid business reason to access their home PC from the office.
