Remote Port Forwarding

This is the exact opposite of local port forwarding, where any connection that reaches a port on a remote server is forwarded to a port on the local system.

Scenario/Goal

Here, the target system is Linux

Let there be 2 systems - A,B,

A->B connections are restricted by a firewall or the server accepts only loopback requests

B->A SSH connection is possible

System A	Requirement
Level of Compromise	Root Access with password
Softwares	SSH
IP	192.168.1.10

System B	Requirement
Level of Compromise	User access
Softwares	SSH, Service to be accessed (e.g Mysql)
IP	192.168.1.20

System B (Linux System)

ssh -N -R 192.168.1.10:2221:127.0.0.1:3306 kali@192.168.1.10

System B (Windows System)

Here, the target system is Windows

In the case of a Windows system, we can apply the same method using a tool meant for SSH in Windows - plink.exe

cmd.exe /c echo y | plink.exe -ssh -l kali - pw userpassword -R 192.168.1.10:3306:127.0.0.1:3306 192.168.1.10

The first section of the command "/c echo y" is to pipe the answer to the prompt when the exe is executed. Without the first section you will have to interactive step to key in "y".
