IT question

If I'm logged in to LJ, can my network administrator use that status to view my protected posts?

I think it would take a little work.

Hell, if you log into LJ from work, it's probably just as easy to sniff your network traffic and suck up your password, use it whenever they want. If you're *really* worried about your IT boys, just don't log in from work 'cause they have physical access to the equipment. If they really care, they can see it.

(I do that IT type shit, sometimes.)

As others have said, it's not too hard for someone in his position to see your requests going out to LJ. Each one carries your ID and password (although the password is mildly encrypted). He could send requests for pages that appear to come from you. This would be rather tedious to do if he is just browsing to see what he can find. If he can figure the decryption of the password, he can log in as you the normal way.

Is he trying to find out private things about you?
