During BroCon, someone brought a bug in the SSH analyzer to my attention.
The SSH Capabilities record has the following field, which is being set incorrectly:
> ## Are these the capabilities of the server?
>
> is\_server: bool;
> result-\>Assign(6, new Val(${msg.is\_orig}, TYPE\_BOOL));
Obviously, I’d like to fix this. I’m curious to hear thoughts about getting this into 2.6. I know that the hassh package currently works around the broken logic.

Yes, that seems like a bug fix that can be included in 2.6. Do you
want to make a PR for that and verify/update any unit test baselines
that change?

Sure, I’ll do that.
