tunnel through http proxy

adnans

hey all,

i need to acces something else other then stupid http pages. something like ftp and telnet but the stupid firewall in college is not letting me do it and the IT department is leaving it on a leash becasue of "security purposes" (well, looks like they are worse then eircom )

anyway, i tried tunnelin' through http proxy using http-tunnel but to no avail. before i give up my chances of outsmarting the IT dept. and going to their premises on my knees to beg for the access, can anyone suggest anything else. please (logic1 tried to help with it by setting up a bounce server, but it didnt work)

I used to have a problem like that not sure if its the same thing though but for me I got an error message saying ftp protocol was not set up on the proxy server so i used a Ftp program and it worked fine dunno why if you wanna get an ftp program try this site and search for ftp!

BTW Leech ftp is free and a easy one to use!

adnans

DeSilva, its not that simple. they blocked the access whether you use one ftp program or another. all you can basically do is browse the internet. that is also controlled through a http proxy which doesnt work mr ftp. thanks anyway

here ya go, try this little beauty.

http://www.deny.de/sss/telplug.html

iv given that link to loads of people about the country in different colleges and it seems to do the best job.

let me know if it works.

adnans

nice one, ill check it out 1st thing tommorow morning and report.

adnans

adnans

nope. its doesnt work at all. error message

SSL port specified is not allowed

I know i used the correct proxy server and port. it allows me to view secure sites and all that lark on the internet but fo some reason it wont allow me to use that program. its MS Proxy ver 2.0 btw

yeh I'm in same situation, none of those tunnel progs will work for me. Only small gain I've made is finding

www.safeweb.com

go to that, type in the ftp address and off you go. It won't let you d/l huge files, but at least you can look at ftp pages and d/l small files. Its slowish, and the little earth anim top right of browser doesn't go around even when its still receiving data, so be patient.

if you make any other inroads into this, please mail me.

The IT Department owns you all......

adnans

your encouragement amazes me Ciggie Smokin' man. IT dept. are nothing but a bunch of sissies who are afraid to open up ports in case the security gets compromised oooohhh. lazy bunch of ... you know where it goes from there. hehe

adnans

rowan

so adnans, did you try safeweb?

Giblet

Sounds like your from ITB
i used to use cyberarmy.com but they found out and blocked it.
they only have like 3 ports open 80, 29(?) and the netbeui one
its a f*cker u shuld get a complaint going to the head of IT
from all students

adnans

yeah, i have tried safeweb.com. it works to an extent but it doesnt give me the full usege when it comes to ftp. you cant upload or download files bigger then 5 megs. which is useless.

I sense a bit of jealousy.....

Have a look through the old posts, there's been a topic on this before.

adnans

yeah, i was a bit pissed off cause i'm not getting proper "internet" access at the college im attending and i think it beats the whole purpose of having "internet" access in the first place where most protocols are banned and even some websites have been proxy disabled. its like paying full price for a hotel room and find out that all the good tv channels have been blocked

Well excuse ****ing us for doing our jobs and trying to minimise risk.

Dr. Loon

Adnans... you're the type of person who causes me hassle and all the I.T hassle everyday If you were workin out here, I'd have you banned from using the internet completely!! The smilies are in good jest, but I'm serious.

what risk? this is a college, an educational center, place of learning etc. not a ****ing nuclear reactor or a corpration that needs to protect itself from script kiddies and the likes.

to be honest fink, i'm the last person in the world that would cause hassle to the IT dept. i love the guys/gals, they are the ones running and keeping the network alive and provinding us with the mad out knowledge out on the internet. but to completely block basic protocols that allow people to communicate is a step too far in protecting their cherished network.

Sometimes not mate... security is every institutions prime concern, companies, colleges, everywhere!! Colleges especially... I reckon they'd be the most abused networks, possibly most hacked... due to the usual thought that colleges don't implement tough enough security. These aren't facts by the way. Just my thoughts... which I may have heard somewhere before! I'm not gonna argue with ye either

The problem is that hacker skum see colleges as a stepping stone on to larger things as they have alot of computing power and general underfunded IT support so things may not be as secure as they could be. Just because a college is not a nuclear reactor doen't mean things shouldn't be protected.

You might not, but can you say that for every single other person in you class? Part of the reason that Maynooth has gone from allow everthing to deny everything is because of stundents fu<king about and setting up unauthorised servers that then get hacked and cause even greater problems (or in the case of ftp and file sharing server, eat the bandwidth up). We're not too happy that we've had to go this way, but there is very little we can do. The resources are simplely not there to do anything else.

That that's cause that's all coming through the proxy. You can ftp stuff down through the proxy, but not up. You do know the proxy logs are monitered? And I know who is logged on where?

oh em what er

Some one haxored my password

Now that is something I completely disagree with and I would certainly not agree to something like that being implemeneted on my network.
