Description: this video is all about port forwarding in metasploit. after getting a meterpreter session on victim machine there is a command for port forwarding.
From Wikipedia,the Port forwarding or port mapping is a name given to the combined technique of
translating the address and/or port number of a packet to a new destination
possibly accepting such packet(s) in a packet filter (firewall)
forwarding the packet according to the routing table.
The destination may be a predetermined network port (assuming protocols like TCP and UDP, though the process is not limited to these) on a host within a NAT-masqueraded, typically private network, based on the port number on which it was received at the gateway from the originating host.
The technique is used to permit communications by external hosts with services provided within a private local area network.
This video includes an example of a web site that is normally unreachable from Backtrack 5 box. after gaining a meterpreter session on victim, and doing port forwarding makes it possible.
