If only 53 is open, you are pretty much out of luck except for two |
| 17 |
possible solutions: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
1. The social solution |
| 20 |
You grab a huge bag of gummy bears, carry them to your real network |
| 21 |
administrator and ask him to poke a hole for you and your buddy into |
| 22 |
the firewalls. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2. The technical solution |
| 25 |
You get a box completely outside your compus's network into which both |
| 26 |
of you can ssh. |
