target_spec is a required argument in the form of ec2_instance_id:port_number (ex: i-deadbeef:80)
If session setup is successful, the following messages will be output to the terminal:
2020/02/02 12:34:56 waiting for handshake
2020/02/02 12:34:56 handshake complete
2020/02/02 12:34:56 listening on [::]:64445 <-- random port used for example
