Check network connections
Netcat
nc -v -z <host> <port>
- Tell me if we can open a connection to <host> on <port>. Without -z it works like telnet
nc -v -u -z <host> <port>
- Tell me if we can open a connection to <host> on a UDP <port>
Curl
curl -vvv -k --proxy1.0 <proxyIP>:<proxyPort> <Remote URL>
- Get the data from <remote URL> via <proxyIP> -k allows insecure SSL connections
curl -vvv telnet://<IP>:<port>
- Just test connectivity to a port
Wget
wget <URL>
- Get the data from <URL>
openssl
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect <IP>:443
- Test SSL connection
Tunneling
ssh -L 8080:remotehost:3006 proxy
- Login over ssh to proxy and there connect to remotehost port 3306. Connect local port 8080 to the remote connection.
- Now if you connect to port 8080 on your local server you are connected to port 3306 on the remotehost
- Using
-nNT
prevents that the ssh command opens a terminal on the proxy. The ssh command however must remain active.
