SSH to a remote server and sniffer.
« on: October 08, 2015, 12:40:45 pm »
Hello.
If I use SSH protocol for connecting to a remote server and bypass all Internet traffics to remote server. Can server admin sniff my traffic and find my vital information?
For example I use "ssh test@testserver.com -D 127.0.0.1:8888" and change my Firefox proxy to use "127.0.0.1" and port "8888" then go to "Gmail.com" and open my email.
Can server admin find my Gmail username and password? Firefox use "HTTPS" protocol for open Gmail.com but can sniffing it possible?

Tnx.

No the HTTPS tunnel goes right through the machine so no.
That is if you want to rely on SSL/TLS.
The SSL connection is established between endpoints and is not decryptable without the keys, at least thats what they tell us :P
