2/8     Question about ssh or need confirmation.
        - purpose of using ssh is to avoid information that I read at my
          terminal not being seen by someone in between the traffic, so
          does that mean if my terminal is being mornitored (i.e., my employer
          or network admin is watching my console at a remote terminal), they
          will only see garbled messages?
        - or does ssh only ensures data send between soda and my terminal not
          being intercepted, but once information gets displayed on my screen,
          a mornitoring agent can just capture the screen and still see every
          key stroke I type in or every message I am reading?
                \_ work on your fucking english
                   \_ hahhaha...having a hard time reading?  I don't see the
                   others have any problem.  Can you just point out one flaw
                   so that I can fix it.
                        \_ double negative, run-on sentence, fragmentary
                           phrase, passive voice, misspelling.  And that's
                           just the first sentence.
        \_ ssh encrypts data on the network between your host and wherever you
           ssh to ( in this case, soda).  If your host has been compromised
           by whomever might be monitoring you, there is little ssh (or
           anything else for that matter) can do to stop you from being
           monitored.
           \_ here's what I do at work: swap around the keycaps on my
              keyboard. You should see the security people tearing their
              hair out! muahhaha!
              \_ how does that help really?
                 \_ security through obscurity.  though the right way to
                    do this is to use a qwerty keyboard in dvorak mode.
                    and remove the 'W'.
