Interview with OpenSSH developer:
http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/375
Summary: Arbitrary layer 2/3 tunnelling using tun(4) interfaces over
ssh. Various changes to reduce attack possibilities. My first
encounter with the term "attack surface".
Commentary: TCP over TCP --- retransmit timeout synchrony. Creeping
featurism? Ubiquitous network tunnelling is just a revision away.=20
This is inevitable.
Aside: I'm currently imagining some kind of network shell that deals
with tunnels between nodes like /bin/sh deals with pipes between
programs.
