Port 22 & Pancakes

• SSH Port

  SSH Port 22 Origin Story: In 1995, Tatu Ylonen designed SSH to enhance security over telnet and FTP, opting for port 22 between the existing ports for telnet (23) and ftp (21). Seeking IANA's approval, Ylonen secured port 22, making SSH history. Today, the default port remains 22, but configurations can be altered for testing or specific needs. SSH, frequently firewall-permitted, demands cautious outbound use due to tunneling risks. Inbound access options include port forwarding, varied firewall ports, or VPN prerequisites. Linux users can enable SSH access via iptables.
