The reliance on LLMs is unfortunate. I bet this mystery could gave been solved much quicker by simply looking at the packet capture in Wireshark. The Wireshark dissectors are quite mature, SSH is covered fairly well.
Asking an LLM about SSH (hint: the two S-es stand for security) would tell you why only having packet capture in Wireshark isn't going to reveal shit.
Why does SSH send 100 packets per keystroke?

Way to gatekeep. God forbid people use tools to help them investigate instead of knowing the exact approach to take.

How much are you staking on that bet?

#139I don't see how Claude helped the debugging at all. It seemed like the author knew what to do and it was more telling Claude to think about that. I've used Claude a bit and it never speaks to me like that either, "Holy Cow!" etc. It sounds more annoying than interacting with real people. Perhaps AIs are good at sensing personalities from input text and doesn't act this way with my terse prompts..

#140> Obviously forking go’s crypto library is a little scary, and I’m gonna have to do some thinking about how to maintain my little patch in a safe way This should really be upstreamed as an option on the ssh library. Its good to default to sending chaff in untrusted environments, but there are plenty of places where we might as well save the bandwidth
Threats exist in both trusted and untrusted environments though. This feels like a really niche use case for SSH. Exposing this more broadly could lead to set-it-and-forget-it scenarios and ultimately make someone less secure.
