On 1984 port, is the communication between agent and server encrypted?
No.
It's been requested once or twice before, but not enough for me to look at implementing it. I don't think it would be terribly difficult to implement support for running the communication over an SSL encrypted connection - either built into the hobbitd daemon, or through a proxy- like front-end to hobbitd. Hobbit already has support for talking to an SSL enabled service (in the bbtest-net tool), so I have some experience with how the OpenSSL library works.
