Pivoting: Lets you move from one part of a network to another, useful for exploring deeper systems.
Tunneling: Hides and protects data as it moves across unsafe networks, important for keeping information safe.
Port Forwarding: Sends traffic from outside to the right service inside a network, helpful for connecting remotely.
In practice, pivoting helps you explore complex network paths, tunneling keeps your data safe during transfer, and port forwarding gives access to services like web or game servers.
In the real world, pivoting helps security teams follow hackers, tunneling makes remote work safer, and port forwarding helps fix things from far away or play games online.
