Gain remote access to Macs behind AirPort Base Stations

Another good use of port mapping is to put common services on non-standard ports in order to defeat the script kiddies. By putting a service such as ssh on a high unused port (say, over 5000) you make it less likely that you'll get hit by the next automated SSH exploit before you have time to update.

It will also work for telnet, but you wouldn't be running that, would you?
