getting past fire walls

[D.C.MAN]

every one hates them but how can we get past them
my school uses a firewall called bess, can any one help me get past it

[Will.Spencer]

The first thing to do is to determine what ports are allowed through the firewall and what ports are blocked.

If there is a port which is allowed to be sent outbound, you then setup a server somewhere else on the Internet with something answering on that port.

If you want to browse the web, you would put a web proxy on that port.

Me, I am more likely to put an ssh daemon on that port. That will allow me to login to a Unix shell and go anywhere from within that shell. 8)
