(Windows) Plink

Prerequisites

• plink.exe available on the Windows host.
• SSH access to a Linux pivot or target.

Dynamic SOCKS Proxy (Like ssh -D)

on target:

plink -D 9050 ubuntu@<IPaddressofTarget>

• Creates a SOCKS proxy on local port 9050.
• Can be combined with Proxychains-style tools on Windows or with apps that support SOCKS directly.

Another Windows-based tool called Proxifier can be used to start a SOCKS tunnel via the SSH session we created.
