go-pivot-ssh

Simple Go-based tool to proxy local TCP connections over an SSH tunnel.

Uses host entries found in ~/.ssh/config for authentication. If no IdentifyFile is defined for a given host, user will be prompted to enter password.

How to use

Install (requires Go):

git clone https://github.com/jdolitsky/go-pivot-ssh.git 2>/dev/null && \
  (cd go-pivot-ssh && go build -o /usr/local/bin/pivot-ssh .) && \
  rm -rf go-pivot-ssh/

Usage:

pivot-ssh <remote_host> <local_listener> <forward_to>

Example

For example, access service at 10.1.1.55:80, which is only reachable via 10.11.1.123 (which you have SSH access to).

In your ~/.ssh/config, add info about the host:

$ cat ~/.ssh/config
Host 10.11.1.123
	User myuser
	Port 2222

Then start a local listener at 127.0.0.1:8080 which will forward traffic to 10.1.1.55:80 over SSH tunnel:

$ pivot-ssh 10.11.1.123 127.0.0.1:8080 10.1.1.55:80
Enter SSH password:

2021/11/11 09:46:45.711348 accepted connection
