[Pauldotcom] ICMP tunneling through firewalls

[Gerardo Iglesias Galvan]

I've successfully used ptunnel and ssh (as a SOCKS server) to tunnel
out different kind of traffic (and high loads). The client and server
were in different networks and there were no problems at all. What's
the problem you're facing?

Cheers,
Gerardo

Not a problem for exchanging a few chars through netcat, but anything that can't fit within a single ICMP payload (such as shoveling /bin/bash or ssh tunneling) gets dropped.
