   How SSH Really Works

   SSH is essential for providing secure remote access over unsecured networks. This video explains how SSH creates a secure tunnel between client and server, focusing on SSH2, which offers improved security features compared to SSH1. Key aspects covered include TCP connection establishment, version and algorithm negotiation, key exchange using the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman method, and public key authentication. Once authenticated, all communication between the client and server is encrypted using a session key. SSH also supports local forwarding for tunneling other network services securely.
