This week’s TechMail is Get network versatility with SSH tunneling and netcat which talks about using netcat as a proxy tool to bounce transparently through a bastion host to a secure end point. It’s not something that you may use a lot, but if you need to be able to do something like this in a pinch, openssh and netcat are two tools that are almost always available and it’s cool stuff to know anyways. =)
