It's a strange converstion, it starts with SSL, but after the client
sends some data and terminates the connection, the server comes back
with an SSH response in frame #15: SSH-2.0-DraySSH_2.0. Of course the
SSL dissector does not understand these bytes and marks them as
malformed (as the first bytes do not correspond to valid SSL record
layer version and length parameters).

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
