If you want reverse ssh given the settings
local --(ssh)--> intermediate --(ssh)--> remote
and remotehost is heavily firewalled and not allowed to ssh out,
you could achieve this with ssh alone:
config:
create a ssh rsa key:
local:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa_intermediate
local:~/.ssh/config:
host remote
Hostname intermediate
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_intermediate
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
RemoteForward 22022 127.0.0.1:22
intermediate:~/.ssh/config:
host remote
Hostname remote
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_intermediate
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
RemoteForward 2222 127.0.0.1:22022
intermediate:~/.ssh/authorized_keys:
from="local",environment="SSHVIA=1",command="sh -c 'ssh remote
${SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND:-}'" ssh-rsa <insert
local:~/.ssh/id_rsa_intermediate.pub here> address@hidden
remote:~/.ssh/config:
host local
Hostname 127.0.0.1
ForwardX11 yes
Port 2222
remote:~/.ssh/authorized_keys:
from="intermediate",environment="SSHVIA=2" ssh-rsa <insert
local:~/.ssh/id_rsa_intermediate.pub here> address@hidden
executing:
localuser at local:
ssh remote
and then
remoteuser at remote:
ssh local
This gives remoteuser at remote an ssh-connection to local, tunneled in
reverse through the ssh-connection from local via intermediate to remote
established previously by localuser.
