Matt Palmer

The author released another "follow-up" article today: https://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/2023/06/12/private-key-redaction…

It is the Debian associated one, he talks about the project on his blog: https://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/

If you haven't updated your Debian in a while, 1 in 30000 apparently: https://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/2024/04/09/how-i-tripped-over-th…

Thanks. How about we change the URL to the more general article, which has more information and doesn't shame anybody. I've changed it from https://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/2023/06/12/private-key-redaction… now.

Generating a new key for documentation seems incredibly easy, or even generating random base64 text. Most of all, searching Google for a random key to use as example seems easiest of all. I find it hard to believe that anyone would take their actual production key and redact it for documentation. Does the author have evidence of this in practice, or did they see example keys and assume they were redacted production keys? edit: It seems they have found one: https://www.hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/2023/06/12/private-key-redaction…
