Comment on How to create ssh tunnels / ssh tunneling on Linux and FreeBSD with openssh by admin.

In corporate world it is also very useful to create and use SSH tunnel to Oracle Database. The same logic is in place:

ssh -T -N -L 1521:localhost:1521 mysoracleerver.example.com

C:Usersgeorgi>sqlplus mdinh/mdinh@127.0.0.1:1521/lax_db01

Connected to:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;

How to create ssh tunnels / ssh tunneling on Linux and FreeBSD with openssh

Another useful scenario is whether it is necessery to make ssh tunnel via multiple (server) hops:

There are 3 scenarios to tunnel ssh traffic via multiple servers:

  1. Tunnel from localhost to host1:

    ssh -L 9999:host2:1234 -N host1
    

    As noted above, the connection from host1 to host2 will not be secured.

  2. Tunnel from localhost to host1 and from host1 to host2:

    ssh -L 9999:localhost:9999 host1 ssh -L 9999:localhost:1234 -N host2
    

    This will open a tunnel from localhost to host1 and another tunnel from host1 to host2. However the port 9999 to host2:1234 can be used by anyone on host1. This may or may not be a problem.

  3. Tunnel from localhost to host1 and from localhost to host2:

    ssh -L 9998:host2:22 -N host1
    ssh -L 9999:localhost:1234 -N -p 9998 localhost
    

    This will open a tunnel from localhost to host1 through which the SSH service on host2 can be used. Then a second tunnel is opened from localhost to host2 through the first tunnel.

Normally, I'd go with option 1.
If the connection from host1 to host2 needs to be secured, go with option 2.

Option 3 is mainly useful to access a service on host2 that is only reachable from host2 itself.

A useful tunneling is to create SSH tunnel to MySQL server on localhost so you can access it via mysql cli using some port lets say (3308):
 

ssh -T -N -L 3308:localhost:3306 myserver.example.com

Then access with mysql cli (assuming mysql cli is installed on localhost):
 

$ mysql -P 3308 -u USERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE

Big Church Scandal in the Bulgarian Orthodox Church the developments on how the Church basic law Establishment document is illegally broken and hope and action for truth to be restored

What is rather fun is during the anti-protest organized by Metropolitan Nikolay (with people only from the Plovdiv eparchy just like in the good old times of communism was financed by the unwilling people to go to the event). It was lied that the reason for Nikolay people to protest is because this is a protest in front of the Synod against the accepting of gay marriages (what a lie !!!). Besides that there is a many people from village called Krepost (if not mistaken the village) who were (protestants!) and came to protest in favour of the new anti people legislation (even though not orthodox christians), because they were mislead the protests are against the gays!

Metropolitan Nikolay has publicly asked priests in his eparchy to sign a document they're going to be present on the protests that should support the New Synodal "order". Those who were unwilling to cooperate of course can always be sent by their Metropolitan to a very distant village or even taken away their profession as priests so there was a lot of pressure put on those people.

Christ is Risen Eastern Orthodox Resurrection Paschal Greeting in Different Languages
Hi Stan,

I guess you cannot read the writtings on the icon as it is in cyrillic.
This is not Saint Mary and Saint Peter but Adam and Eve written in cyrillic on top of the icon.
Actually in orthodoxy it is a requirement for the depicted personalities, especially saints to have
written on the names of the saint and have the Halo. If you look closely at the picture you will notice
the two Adam and Eve are missing a Halo. The only person with a Halo in the icon is Saint John the Baptist.

Best Regards
Georgi


Install and configure rkhunter for improved security on a PCI DSS Linux / BSD servers with no access to Internet
       –rwo, –report-warnings-only
              This option causes only warning messages to be displayed. This can be useful when rkhunter is run via cron. Other options may
              be used to force other items of information to be displayed.

       –sk, –skip-keypress
              When  the  –check command option is used, after certain sections of tests, the user will be prompted to press the return key
              in order to continue. This option disables that feature, and rkhunter will run until all the tests have completed.
