minus-squaresus@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agothe direct chain I can see is “can you string words to form a valid RSA key” “I would hope so, [xkcd about password strength]” “words are the least secure way to generate random bytes” “Good luck remembering random bytes. That infographic is about memorable passwords.” “You memorize your RSA keys?” so between comments 2 and 3 and 4 I’d say it soundly went past the handcrafted RSA key stuff.
