RE: SSH and compression



I might be misguided but I find it interesting that compression seems to
look for patterns
in data in order to reduce the size, where as encryption's goal is to make
the data
devoid of all distinguishable patterns?

Just curious, but does enabling compression make it easier, harder or
about the same difficulty to crack data from an SSH connection?

Just sort of my random curiosity for the night...
