Re: Circumventing NAT via UDP hole punching.

[Gaurang Pandya <gaubrig () yahoo com>]

I have used reverse shell in such senarios. A logs in to C, and B logs into C with reverse shell. Then A connects 
reverse shell to B on C. I have used it for ssh management, but can also be done using nc relay and ssh tunnel..

Subject: [Full-disclosure] Circumventing NAT via UDP hole punching.
 

A new write up at InfoSec Institute on circumventing NAT.  The process works in the following way. We assume that both 
the systems A and B know the IP address of C.
 
a) Both A and B send UDP packets to the host C. As the packets pass through their NAT’s, the NAT’s rewrite the source 
IP address to its globally reachable IP address. It may also rewrite the source port number, in which case UDP hole 
punching would be almost impossible.
 
b) C notes the IP address and port of the incoming requests from A and B. Let the port number for A equal X and the 
port number for B equal Y.
 
c) C then tells A to send UDP packet to the global IP address of the NAT for B at port Y, and similarly tells B to send 
UDP packet to the global IP address of the NAT for A at port X.
 
d) The first packets for both A and B get rejected while entering into each other’s NAT’s. However as the packet passes 
from the NAT of A to the NAT of B at port Y, NAT A makes note of it and hence punches a hole in its firewall to allow 
incoming packets from the IP address of the NAT of B, from port Y. The same happens with the NAT of B and it makes a 
rule to allow incoming packets from the IP address of the NAT of A from port X.
 
e) Now when A and B send packets to each other, these get accepted and hence a P2P connection is established.
