    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.

    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.

    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.
