A docker environment to practice pivoting.

PivotLab

A docker environment to practice pivoting. Used to practice port forwarding techniques as well as any tools such as SSHUTTLE.

The environment creates two networks:

1. DMZ Network A network where the SSH server will sit in (172.16.0.0/24)
2. Pivot Network An internal network that can be accessed from the gateway. (172.16.1.0/24)

The environment creates two containers:

1. SSH Server Just a simple SSH server that acts as the gateway into the internal environment.
2. Web Server A simple webserver on port 80, working as the target that you want to reach. This host is placed in the Pivot Network and can only be accessed via the SSH Server.

Instructions:

1. Observe that you cannot access or ping the webserver.
2. SSH into the SSH Server container: ssh user@172.16.0.10 -p 2222
3. Ping the webserver and observe requests are coming through (observing segregated network) sudo ping webserver or sudo ping 172.16.1.12
4. Use this knowledge to test out port forwarding or SSHUTTLE by using the SSH Server. You can also modify the docker-compose.yml file to create more complex pivot environments.
