[TriLUG] SSH proxy over HTML

[gregbrown at mindspring.com]

Oh.. crap.  Yes, I meant HTTP, not HTML. :)

I'll give tcpdump a shot.  I almost forgot about it looking at that fancy 
Knoppix 3.6 GUI! :)

Use tcpdump, you lazy SOB.  And assuming when you say "transport", you
actually mean as a transport protocol, so it's safe to infer HTTP vs. HTML.

You should find that it's a straight encapsulation of SSH traffic with HTTP
packets, if that's what's happening, so you should have "clear text" only in
the session establishment.

Cheers,

Subject: [TriLUG] SSH proxy over HTML

THe company where I work has a SSH proxy set up on the network.  The lastest
version of putty supports the proxy.  The proxy uses HTML as transport.  I
tried to capture some packets between my workstation and the proxy server
using ethereal running on knoppix 3.6 but it core dumps everytime I try to
examine the packets after the catpure has been completed.

Since the proxy supports HTML I would imagine that from my workstation to my
proxy all text is sent in the clear, correct?  This kind of stinks because
the proxy, or any machine in-line between my workstation and the proxy, can
examine all the packets being delivered to the proxy, right?

Has anyone ever set up a SSH proxy using HTML?  Can the SSH proxy be
configured to use it's own internal HTML proxy server for connections
requested over a SSH tunnel over the Internet?

Eh.  Oh well, it is Big Brother's network afterall so I should play by his
rules and be happy about it.
