To handle Diffie-Hellman exchanges what should be implemented is a
credentials-leaking protocol.
Two components, one in the ssh library that somehow leaks the
credentials, and one in Wireshark that uses the leaked info to
configure decryption.
IMHO using TCP OOB would be excellent as it would match the same tcp
filter, but it has the problem that it goes all the way so is visible
in the entire path. Other alternative would be targeting UDP packets
towards the sniffer... Both create a major risk, but they can be very
helpful for development.
