Bachelor thesis: Bypassing network restrictions using ICMP tunneling
This thesis describes the implementation of a software solution that allows a user to bypass restrictions defined on the network to which his computer is connected. This is possible due to the ICMP tunneling method that encapsulates clients network traffic into the ICMP packet, which is by default allowed on most networks due to the purpose of ICMP which is network diagnostics. ICMP packets are routed to the server which can unpack the original packet and forward it to its destination. The response on said packets is encapsulated into an ICMP packet again by the server and sent to the client, which can unpack the original packet and receive it.
