Description

I'd like to get the SessionId in code that is using the SSH.NET library. Unfortunately, the SessionId is internal. I can access it when debugging, but not in code. Is there a method somewhere (or some other way) to get the SessionId (which is a byte array)? If not, I will have to manipulate the source to expose the SessionId myself. Please advise. Thanks.

Research direction

Start by locating the internal SessionId in SSH.NET's session implementation and reviewing how session information is exposed to consuming code. The work is done when consuming code can obtain the SessionId as a byte array through a supported API, with behavior checked against the existing library conventions.
