You might be on a hostile, locked down client, on a hostile network. This lets you access a *nix machine you control from no more than an internet kiosk at a hotel.
- precurse 7y agoI definitely would not want to use a hostile machine to access my servers remotely, period. Sure, this will let you bypass outbound port restrictions, but it doesn't help in the slightest if every keystroke is keylogged.
- Fnoord 7y agoKeystrokes being logged could be avoided with 2FA plus not typing in sensitive content. That doesn't secure you against MITM from the machines. E.g. if the machine is taken over locally or remotely or there's spyware running on it, you could still end up compromised. (I'm not saying you should do this; you probably shouldn't.)
