```
- Setting up an SSH tunnel:
```
ssh -L local_port:target_ip:remote_port user@ssh_server
```
Forensics and Incident Response:
When you’re knee-deep in an incident response scenario, these commands come in handy:
- Collecting volatile data using Volatility (example for memory analysis):
```
volatility -f memory_dump.raw imageinfo
volatility -f memory_dump.raw pslist
```
- Checking for open ports and listening processes (example with netstat):
