Can a windows admin snoop my ssh session?
 
Yes...but. Any admin can monitor keystrokes (and any user that can install software that runs as a service). As far as snooping the session on the network, this too can be done, but the amount of intelligible data that can be collected is relatively small. All of the critical data in an ssh session is encrypted. There is a hack to allow simplified brute-force password guessing based on ssh sessions, and there is always transaction data that could potentially be analyzed.

But if I were the administrator, I'd just install a keystroke monitor on your system and greatly simplify my life.

1. Review what your doing and if it conflicts with company policy.

2. Look at policy in regards to monitoring.

If theres no policy in regards to monitoring, its actually illegal. So if you get fired for connecting to your home PC and scripting or who knows what... But they found this out by using keyloggers and such with out telling you of the presence of one or without a company policy... You may be able to consult a lawyer regarding wrongful termination

Anywho... Consider what your doing at work that your so curious about this topic ;) oh and btw use protocal 2. much more secure
