hehe you have the word ass in your private key, what are the odds

I insert swears into all my ssh keys so they get censored out by profanity filters. Good luck hacking me now, squares 😎🏍️🛹

You should put in some Disney lyrics so they issue a takedown request if it leaks.

The == had me wondering for too long

Haha I started trying to format the text so that it was technically a valid ed25519 key, then it became too much work for a silly joke so I settled for filtering/replacing all the invalid chars and slapping the == padding at the end. Needs more AAAAAA strings to really sell it, I think, but I'm glad it turned out well enough to merit a second glance lol.

Edit: I swapped all instances of fuck|fucker|fucking with As, I think it's an improvement.

Now reverse engineer a matching public key.

[-] TwilightKiddy@scribe.disroot.org 5 points 1 day ago

What do you mean "reverse engineer"? From man ssh-keygen:

       -y      This option will read a private OpenSSH format file and print an OpenSSH public key to stdout.

Post the output when you run that on the key that was posted.

[-] TwilightKiddy@scribe.disroot.org 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

That's not a valid key. OpenSSH keys are not arbitrary bytes, they contain at least the type of the certificate used and a hostname.

The fact that this is not a valid key does not mean you need to reverse engineer public keys. By design you can just get a public key with a private one.

Someone help I'm being hacked!
