About Chisel
Chisel creates tunnels through restrictive networks by wrapping TCP and UDP traffic in HTTP and securing it with the SSH protocol, using a single Go binary that acts as both client and server. It is commonly used for reverse tunnels and pivoting during authorised testing.
Strengths
- Single static binary acts as both ends of the tunnel
- Works through HTTP proxies and restrictive egress filtering
Limitations
- Tunnelling out of a network can breach policy; get permission first
- No traffic shaping or access control beyond the SSH layer
