botnet armies?? Come on ;) a scenario where this would work? Well I suppose my friend is using it at work to send some queries to the db and get replies... If that is what you meant by the q. or... I have a tep in the drive and from home a do a ufsdump... of a slice and i get a reply ufsdump complete and then i dump a second slice and i get a reply .. dumping 10...20...80% done... so i save 5-6 hrs of sitting there? :) Reverse ssh? Let me do a Google on that..

Hmm is there something like a gtalk agent ? that can let me issue commands and give me some reply? that would be the best!!! :) if i had gtalk running on a remote machine and it wold forward my commands to the server (telnet,ssh) and forward the servers reply through gtalk back to me?? that would be the best solution :) a gtalk agent :) just to add i know there is something similar for oracle.. to be able to do some quires and get replies using something like that.... and what do you think about easy-vpn.comodo ?? i tried using it but could not use the remote control function ... but i guess it does create.. some sort of vpn between the pc and a virtual net , and on my home pc i do the same.. and we are in tha same i guess sub-net... but something is not working properly using this but as a concept i think it would be gr8..

thank to all that gave some useful reply (Infiltrator) :) and all of the ...totally not so useful people :) also thanks for the worry of my livelihood :)... it is like this... being that the sec, admin is an ignorant and lazy guy he made the policy no access and that is the easiest thing to do.. for him of course.. now they do expect me to come (if needed) in the midle of the night to type "init 6" and go back home or to do a manual ufsdump or ufsrestore and sit there ... or something like that iss 300% in-practical if a was a different kind of user ok... but it is expected for a admin to have some kind of secure remote access right? if they did put up a secure remote access solution and i have a strong pass. is there any risk? well minimal.... well not to go on with the arguments and so on.. i know what is the risk and really if they do expect me to come to work to restart ,or sit there until some backup/restore is done (that i can do from home) well actually i don't want that retarded job :) in any case... but im' trying to do my homework and be as' careful and protective to my self(and the company :) as possible so... the question is open ssl vpn , is it 100% secure and undetectable? is there a footprint? can the direction that has initiated the comm be determined? can someone after auditing say, yes it is clear that you made a vpn to outside and then connected to the inside? Do you really think it can be dangerous or you just are saying it is not a good idea? what are the risks if i set it all up correctly? lets say i do use certificates.. i put my home ip as the only one that can connect.. come on it not a bank.. :) someone would have to spoof the ip,mac get around the certificates, and guess my password to get in? is that reasonable to get to some... hmm part numbers? :)

Hi all... Well i have a simple problem. environment layout. home: PC, ADSL and a public ip - all good. work: my own pc, conected to the server farms via the corporate network , and all that behind a lot of firewalls, ids, ips's and similar (me not connecting from out) stuff :) the prob. : 1) Well team viewer and log me in work just fine but i tend to get those "you are violating corporate policy" mail so next step... 2) from hack 5 i got a lot info on ssh and tunneling but non of them incorporates a vpn or something like that, I can create a ssh connection to my home pc but i ne to get IN FROM MY HOME PC to my WORK pc(cant do it without a public ip) So i guess i need a solution something like... a need some type of SSL encrypted(for anyone analyzing the packet not to figure out or be able to prove what i am doing) vpn (to be abel to be in the same network as my work pc so i can telent to it and from it to the servers) and all that i suppose would have to go through a port 80 or 8080 as not to be blocked by the firewall :) Finlay:So it would / should look like my WORK PC is connecting to a SSL. site(for example i am checking my bank statement :) ) but in fact it is always connecting (and if the connection is broken reconnecting) to my HOME PC and letting me tunnel/telnet/ssh to it to gain access to my Corp. Env. and i have to be sure that no one can analyze/prove that i am remote accessing the network. SO what do you guys think ...??? all the best.
