can you please suggest me any tiny and good port redirector
for linux and unix like oses ?
so that when I connect to the box to a given port it redirects my connection
to another box and port that I can chose ?
thanx a lot ..

Search helps :-/

Most *nix boxes come with ssh anyway. So you can use SSH's Port Redirecting/Forwarding method to get past the firewalls, in places where the firewalls are strict, often you'll find ssh to normal users maybe restricted aswell - so yeah, check out the other methods mentioned in the other post.

But linux_dude has a point - shouldve searched first...

I've compiled and succesfully run datapipe on almost any account on *nix boxes**, so give it a try.

**Unless you're completely barred from using the network stack at all

well I'm not sure I can compile anything ..
it's not exactly a shell what I have ..
can you please explain me better that SSH's Port Redirecting/Forwarding method ?

Oh, and Google is your friend.

netfilter/iptables are built in to linux. It can do port redirection (DNAT) without any additional software.

Here is an example of taking TCP traffic from eth0 on port 80, and redirecting to ip address 10.1.1.1 :



Thats all that is required.

damn interesting ..
do you think it works on Mac os X out of the box ?

Maybe something like samplicator, socat, nc, vtun? There is a really cool tool out there that is a socket file, like mysql.sock, but it is really a redirector. I use it to connect remotely to mysql servers, when they do not allow remote connections.

Ya datapipe is solid also. Samplicator is UDP. socat is probably the best.
