Networking – tunneling with SSH+proxy
by opensource on Feb.16, 2009, under System
You can use OpenSource tools, such as Secure Shell (SSH), PuTTY, and Cygwin, to create secure connections to almost any resource you need to access.
1. Open PuTTY (get it here!) –> Connection –> SSH –> Tunnels
2. Source port ( for example i put port ‘9090′), select Dynamic
3. Go to session, key in the hostname with port 22 (connection type = SSH)

——————————————————————————————
login as: root
root@207.5.***.151’s password:
BusyBox v1.01 (2006.12.06-11:11+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter ‘help’ for a list of built-in commands.

(to be honest, this is hacked box, so don’t ask me for the l/p *winks* )
4. Fire up Mozilla Firefox, then go to Tools –> Options –> Network –> <Connection> –> Click Settings
5. Tick “Manual proxy configuration” –> Socks Host –> 127.0.0.1 –> port 9090
