SSH config file
SSH helper utilities
The SSH ~C console
All with pictures to help you follow along. Enjoy :)

I'm Graham Helton, I am a technical lead and work mostly in offensive security but I dabble in a lot of other areas as well. Recently I've been on a bit of a devops kick. I'm currently persuing my masters degree from SANS, and doing 1099 contract work on the side.
I've realized that giving back to the security community is one of my favorite ways to spend my time. I post a ton of research, writeups, and and other fun things over at https://grahamhelton.com.

I find that I create an alias I forget what the actual command is which makes it harder to work on machines other than my host machine. I feel like I'm the only one who feels this way.
