Maybe it’s only answer many question about “how to tunneling using ssh when the ssh shell cannot started”. There will not any problem if ssh shell is activated, you can direct them to tunneling using this way.
In this case, you have IP target that support port 22. It’s mean you can using them to tunneling (of course you must know the user and password :D) even though ssh shell is cannot started.
You can scan the target using phpconfigspy to grab and get the login password.


Let’s we started the lesson.
I find the target and scan them, lucky for me because i got user and password.
alvoacusxxx.pt
[FTP] elaboran:sggvhbui7 Success
If you login to that target using the user password, you will be prompt like this
login as: elaboran
elaboran@alvoacusxxx.pt’s password:

Shell access is not enabled on your account!
If you need shell access please contact support.
Don’t worry, you can still using that target to tunneling. The way will be similar with ssh tunnel, you just adding some configuration on putty.
Look at left side putty on Category tab, breakdown all the menu and you will find SSH tab. Choose SSH and give checkbox on the right side “Don’t start a shell or command at all” and “Enable Compression”.
It’s finish, you can login using that user password. You need to know if the login is correct, there will no effect after you login on screen. Putty screen will stop under password, but tunneling is work now.
