Not even remotely accurate. While the dissector is not as mature as I thought and there's no built-in decryption as there is for TLS, that doesn't matter much. Hint: every component of the system is attacker controlled in this scenario.

Step one, run https://www.psc.edu/hpn-ssh-home/introduction/ instead
Step two, tune TCP/IP stack
Step... much later: write your own "crypto". (I'm using quotes because, before someone points out the obvious, packets-per-keystroke isn't, itself, a cryptographic algorithm, but because it's being done to protect connections from being decrypted/etc, mess with it at your own peril.)
Real talk though, how much would such a tool be worth to you? Would you pay, say, $3,000/license/year for it? Or, after someone puts in the work to develop it, would you wait for someone else to duct tape something together approximately similar enough using regexps that open source but 10% as good, and then not pay for the good proprietary tool because we're all a bunch of cheap bastards?
We have only ourselves to blame that there aren't better tools (publicly) available. If I hypothetically (really!) had such a tool, it would be an advantage over every other SRE out there that could use it. Trying to sell it directly comes with more headaches than money, selling it to corporations has different headaches, open-sourcing it don't pay the bills, nevermind the burnout (people don't donate for shit). So the way to do it is make a pitch deck, get VC funding so you're able to pay rent until it gets acquired by Oracle/RedHat/IBM (aka the greatest hits for Linux tool acquisition), or try and charge money for it when you run out of VC funding, leading to accusations of "rug pull" and development of alternatives (see also: docker) just to spite you.
In the base case you sell Hashimoto and your bank account has two (three!) commas, but worst case you don't make rent and go homeless when instead you could've gone to a FAANG and made $250k/yr instead of getting paid $50k/yr as the founder and burning VC cash and eating ramen that you have to make yourself.
I agree, that would be an awesome tool! Best case scenario, a company pays for that tool to be developed internally, the company goes under, it gets sold as an asset and whomever buys it forms a compnay and tries to sell it directly and then that company goes under but that whomever finally open sources it because they don't want it to slip into obscurity but if falls into obscurity anyway because it only works on Linux 5.x kernels and can't be ported to the 6.x series that we're on now easily.
Yeah, like a really shitty ancient version of bash. If that's what UNIX means to you, I'm not gonna yuck your yum, but what could be more UNIX like than letting license issues make life worse for your users.
The canonical example I use is how good are (philosophical) you at programming on a whiteboard given one shot and no tools? Vs at your computer given access to everything? So judging LLMs on that rubric seems as dumb as judging humans by that rubric.
How hard is it to remember -17° C when that's something you grew up with since childhood though? As a trade off, you get 0° C for water freezing and you don't have to remember 32°F for water freezing instead. Or you remember all 4 of those if you leave near a borders.
I would argue that -17C for brine water is far more difficult to remember than 32 for pure water freezing, 32 is an incredibly common number in fractional measures, but I will concede the point because that seems like more of a happy accident than intent.
The biggest problem I have is I don't see either as inherently better, both are relative scales defined by easy to setup but completely arbitrary measures that lacks any real relevance to modern life. We could of defined or scaled our thermometers based on the boiling and freezing points of mercury and nothing would really change, just shifting some numbers around and then still making another absolute scale that can actually be used for any sort of decent thermal calculations.
A slightly more esoteric Imperial unit is "mils", for thousandths of an inch. 1 mil = 0.001 inch. Which means 1 mil = 25.4 micrometers if we also want to use a non-traditional meter measurement.
How is that a counterpoint to #1? By that same logic, inches are too big an increment so it's hilarious every time fraction of one is used. 15/16ths? lololol!
What we failed to see through our hope-colored glasses, is that the same Internet that lets a gay teenager in rural Arkansas or Iran, also lets the fascists connect to one another.
