I had changed the SSH password on something so I had to dig through my known hosts file, and saw the word FUCK spelled out in there in all caps. I chuckled but am sure there’s an explanation
Nice try fbi you’re not getting me that easy to give up my keys
cmon man i aint never done nothin wrong with nobody’s dang ssh keys. Jus lemme hold em
We had a system at work that generated 4 character alphanumeric reference numbers. Originally to avoid this they just excluded vowels from the letters but eventually they grew enough they ran out of available reference numbers so they added the vowels back in and I had to built the blacklist to avoid stuff like this happening. I reckon I probably tripped every IT filter known to man in a week long period looking for swear words in a variety of languages 😂
I think I got “cunT” once and gave myself a heart attack because I thought I had accidentally committed a frustrated debugging log message to a work repo. I found it while searching for swears but it was in a file I hadn’t changed
New blockchain just dropped
Trump’s coin dropped already.
I think you are obligated to share your entire known hosts file to prove this.

Man this feels like deep lore at this point 😂
RIP bash.org
I don’t get it.
The
~/.ssh/known_hostsfile only contains public keys. I mean, maybe someone doesn’t want to hand out the list of hosts that they talk to, but exposing it doesn’t expose the private keys, which are what you really need to keep secret.Those are in
~/.ssh/id_rsaor the like, depending upon key type.
I know that “Vanity Addresses” are a common thing for onion sites, and there are tools which generate tons of keys looking for prefixes. I haven’t seen such a tool for ssh host keys though.
That would be a rare, shiny PEM
The explanation is that it’s random. Generate enough random strings and you’re bound to get everything.
my old technology teacher told me about one time his ssh key was the whole soliloquy from hamlet.
then he turned himself into a fuckin pickle. craziest thing I ever seentEDIT nvm?
It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times!?
not particularly exciting I think I had ‘dog’ one time while distro hopping.
Should’ve been ‘bunny’.
