vanity_gpg

Threaded vanity gpg key editor! Just choose your regex strings, it will generate keys until it finds a match, then save it!

A progression of Mayeu's basic implementation.

configuration

Edit vanitygen.pl:

• choose your desired key_len, key_name, key_pass, key_email and thread_count(1 per logical core will typically saturate)
• choose your desired @needles - these will be parsed as independent regexes to be matched against your generated keys * (if you wish to match on short key, change the matching in keyThread ie: @matches= ($long_id -> @matches= ($short_id
• Once a key is found, a <key_id>.sec.gpg, and <key_id>.pub.gpg will be generated in the working folder - you can remove any other extraneous .sec and .pub files created during the process (one per thread).

Issues

On systems that do not have enough system entropy, you can try this (warning about entropy shortcuts):

apt-get install -y rng-tools
sudo /usr/sbin/rngd -r /dev/urandom
