Suppose the network is like:
A(192.68.0.1)--------------------B(192.68.0.2)------------------C(192.68.0.3)
A is my ssh server, C is a target ssh server, and I can telnet from A to B(my account is not root).
B is a server not allow ssh login from others, but B can login to C via ssh.
Is it possible to connect C from A through B via ssh?
If you can run programs on B, you can use something like simpleproxy to forward the TCP connection to C.
Then you SSH from A to some port on B (not 22), which will forward your connection to C. Everything will still be encrypted since the SSH session is A<->C.
