C# Renci SshNet The server response contains a null character at position 0x0000002A

i have multiple Raspberries running with SSH server: (OpenSSH_7.4p1 Raspbian-10+deb9u7, OpenSSL 1.0.2u 20 Dec 2019). And if i try to connect via Renci SshNet, i get the following error message:

Renci.SshNet.Common.SshConnectionException: "The server response contains a null character at position 0x0000002A:

00000000 53 53 48 2D 32 2E 30 2D 4F 70 65 6E 53 53 48 5F SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_ 00000010 37 2E 34 70 31 20 52 61 73 70 62 69 61 6E 2D 31 7.4p1 Raspbian-1 00000020 30 2B 64 65 62 39 75 37 0A 00
0+deb9u7..

A server must not send a null character before the Protocol Version Exchange is complete.

More information is available here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4253#section-4.2"

SshClient scClient = new SshClient("123.123.123.123", "pi", "raspberry");
scClient.Connect();

is it possible to change the behavior of the ssh server, or even better; can i tell renci ssh to ignore these protocol errors?

I think it's a problem of the latest SSH.NET NuGet Package. Currently the newest is 2020.0.0. And the one prior to that is 2020.0.0-beta1.

2020.0.0 gives me this problem, 2020.0.0-beta1 does not.

I will report this issue on https://github.com/sshnet/SSH.NET/issues

EDIT:

2020.0.1 just got published. That doesn't seem to have this problem. I recommend you to try that version.
