IPSec / SSH question
by Shahed Moolji 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Hello all, I am in a situation, where I have a network admin, who has setup VPN access to our network, using IPSec. Now, all I want to be able to do, is use simple ssh, and if need be, tunnel a few protocols over it. I have done some reading up on ssh and IPSec, and see no security risk, in using ssh for what I want to do. But the network admin, just does not want to open up the ssh port. I can even try and suggest that he only open the firewall to my fixed IP address, and use keys rather than passwords, for ssh login auth, but other than password cracking, I am sure that simple ssh access, should not be a very serious security risk. Anyway, can someone please comment on this ? I am still trying to find a good article which discusses this issue. Thanks Shahed

Imo the internal engineering is magnificent (heretics call it over engineered), and an equally engineered intel box would hypothetically cost twice as much as an Imac.
