It would useful to have a portable test client / test server, ideally with minimal dependencies, which knows just enough to begin a connection to an existing SSH client or server, and record the protocol exchange. This way, one can at least get a rough idea which protocols an implementation purports to implement.
Then people who want to contribute to this site by e.g. testing Android clients, can use that tool to get a quick first version of the .yaml file (to this end, the tool might even output a .yml file?)
I am tempted to write such a thing in pure python 2 (not using a lib like paramiko), in the hopes that everbody, even Windows users, can run that, to test their implementations.
