You can always brute force the SSH login and take a look around yourself. If you leave an apology.txt file in /home, I'm sure the admin won't mind.

Lol, unlikely SSH is exposed to the net. You'll probably need an RCE in the service to pop a shell.

That's not universally true, at least if you're not on the same LAN. For example, most small-scale apps hosted on VPSs are typically configured with a public-facing SSH login.
