Wireshark's SSL dissector does not support DHE key exchange. The SSL debug log
will print the following:
==> ssl_decrypt_pre_master_secret key 17 different from KEX_RSA(16)

This is a confusing error message. To know what 'key 17' is, the user has to
look at the .h-file for the ssl dissector. Therefore, I propose the following
change:

==> ssl_decrypt_pre_master_secret session uses DHE(17) key exchange, which is
impossible to decrypt

This change can be easily made in <a
