About:
Corkscrew is a command-line utility designed to tunnel SSH connections through HTTP proxies that require authentication. It acts as a conduit between the SSH client and the proxy server, enabling secure remote access in restricted network environments. This tool is essential for users who need to bypass standard corporate firewalls to reach their remote systems.
Key Features:
  • Tunnels SSH over HTTP proxies
  • Supports proxy authentication
  • Simple command-line interface
  • Lightweight and fast
Use Cases:
  • Accessing remote servers from behind a corporate firewall
  • Establishing SSH connections when direct TCP access is blocked
Alternatives:
  • proxytunnel – More feature-rich with SSL/TLS support, but slightly more complex to configure
  • ncat (netcat) – More versatile networking tool that can be scripted for similar purposes
