Description
Tunneling and port forwarding are both techniques used in red teaming, a type of simulated cyber attack used to test an organization's security defenses. Tunneling involves creating a secure connection between two networked devices, allowing data to be transmitted between them even if they are behind a firewall or in different parts of the world. Port forwarding, on the other hand, is a method of redirecting incoming network traffic to a different device or port on the same network. In the context of red teaming, these techniques can be used to bypass security measures and gain access to target systems, allowing the red team to assess the organization's ability to detect and respond to threats.
