Using SSH over Tor is a supremely dumb idea unless you really need to hide your SSH sessions and you're already using other methods (pre-shared host fingerprint, single-use SSH key) to secure your session. 1) Tor exit node operators will do all kinds of nasty things: e.g. MITM-ing your sessions, refusing to handle certain kinds of traffic, and recording everything. 2) If you use your regular SSH key (which you will, because you needed to use this script to do this), your SSH key fingerprint and thus your identity is still recorded by the remote host. Doh! 3) Everyone at the remote host will think you got haxed. Because you're logging in through Tor. Or else they'll think you're super shady. That said, Tor is super fun to play around with. Just don't assume anything gives you real protection unless you're careful and really know the ins and outs.
