I&#x27;ll probably earn a few more insults from the authors of this, but I had a quick look.<p>I only skimmed over it, but it seems as before these results are defect keys.<p>All these keys seem to have an invalid self signature and cannot be imported into gnupg. And looking at the key: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pgp.mit.edu&#x2F;pks&#x2F;lookup?op=get&amp;search=0x7FB82C851C5F7748" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pgp.mit.edu&#x2F;pks&#x2F;lookup?op=get&amp;search=0x7FB82C851C5F7...</a> It has a lot of repeating &quot;A&quot;s.<p>This doesn&#x27;t really explain what exactly is going on here, but safe to say it&#x27;s probably not some sophisticated magic attack, because these keys are unusable, therefore nobody will encrypt with them.

Always super interested in hearing from sources about cryptography who feel the need to call Hanno Bock a &quot;deceitful shitbag&quot;. You all keep having fun with whatever it is you&#x27;re all doing, now. Sounds exciting!

&quot;Phuctor Finds Seven Keys Produced With Null RNG, And Other Curiosities&quot; is the actual title. Why did you change it to point out one specific key, asciilifeform?<p>This raises an interesting question. The submitter, asciilifeform, also appears to be the author of the submitted article. Does the rule that submitters should use the title from the article still apply when the submitter is the author?
