When you accidentally attempt to connect to the wrong server with password credentials is it possible for the administrator to read and log the password you used?
Is your SSH password revealed when you attempt to connect to the wrong server?
ssh;password
Simple put: yesMore detail...If you connect to my machine then you don't know if I'm running a normal ssh server, or one that has been modified to write out the password being passed.Further, I wouldn't necessarily need to modify sshd, but could write a PAM module (eg using pam_script), which will be passed your password.So, yes.  NEVER send your password to an untrusted server.  The owner of the machine could easily have configured it to log all attempted passwords.(In fact this isn't uncommon in the infosec world; set up a honeypot server to log the passwords attempted)
