Yeah, you are correct. I thought about that after having posted these questions. Even though it was SSH there still would be wiggle room for a mitm. I had a dream last night that my future employer was asking me what SSH was. lol I appreciate your response and making it clear as day. Still though, I think there maybe something for testing here. I personally verify and scope out my cert manually. Well for the sites I visit often. But I understand not everyone will be likely to do this. Thank you, -Alex Goretoy
