linux - Forwarding Specific Ports through SSH Reverse Tunnels

So unfortunately I live in a place that will not let me have a static IP, so I have been setting up access to my home computer via reverse SSH tunnels that run on an micro amazon ec2 instance. I have gotten SSH to work fine, but I cannot figure out port forwards.

Here is a small infographic I made to help illustrate (i felt the question was clearer with a diagram of what I was trying to do.

Here are the commands listed in the graphic:

I the following on my home computer:

ssh -R 1337:localhost:22 -i .ssh/tokyoMinekey.pem ec2-user@ec2serveraddress

and I run this on the ec2 server:

ssh -L6600:localhost:6600 -Nf localhost -p 1337

diagram of my pain...in paint AHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH!

FYI, I have added port 6600 into my security group for amazon ec2, so its open on the ec2 side

Answer

I'm not sure why you are using two separate ssh commands here? If you want to forward port 6600 on the EC2 instead to port 6600 on the machine at home then all you should need to do is:

ssh -R :6600:localhost:6600 -i .ssh/tokyoMinekey.pem ec2-user@ec2serveraddress

You will also need to make sure that the GatewayPorts option is enabled in the sshd_config file on the EC2 instance.

Obviously you will need to leave that ssh connection open for the port forward to continue working but other than that there shouldn't be any problems.

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y...

linux - Extract/save a mail attachment using bash

Using normal bash tools (ie, built-ins or commonly-available command-line tools), is it possible, and how to extract/save attachments on emails? For example, say I have a nightly report which arrives via email but is a zip archive of several log files. I want to save all those zips into a backup directory. How would I accomplish that? Answer If you're aiming for portability, beware that there are several different versions of mail(1) and mailx(1) . There's a POSIX mailx command, but with very few requirements. And none of the implementations I have seem to parse attachments anyway. You might have the mpack package . Its munpack command saves all parts of a MIME message into separate files, then all you have to do is save the interesting parts and clean up the rest. There's also metamail . An equivalent of munpack is metamail -wy .
