1) If you’re on Windows, download this and skip to Step 3. Mac, Linux, and Unix users download the source code for connect.c
2) Compile it. On most systems, the command would be: gcc connect.c -o connect
3) Add this to your ssh command: -o ProxyCommand=”connect -S localhost:9050 %h %p”
For example, I could use this command to connect to Silence is Defeat over Tor:
ssh -o ProxyCommand=”connect -S localhost:9050 %h %p” silenceisdefeat.org

And that’s it… Pretty easy. More info can be found here.
