During my presentation I mentioned a video on SSH done by Michael Lucas. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnkG9_jy2qc This is one of the most comprehensive discussions explaining the capabilities of SSH I have found.

This is an awesome list. Thanks for the great presentation, and for posting these tools.
