I also generated the public key, as this is what I would be attacking. Ls5NAhEAz3jqOoDgWeu/Q/3DmGtyowIQZQolCu0elDelXOndDSGsFQIQO2ErAKWE

Private Key Generationįirst, I generated a 256-bit RSA private key using OpenSSL : ~/rsa256# openssl genrsa -out private.pem 256 I’m in no way making any claims about anyone else’s research, or whether something is invalid or fake.

I wasn’t sure how impressive this was originally, and I wanted to try it out myself.įor more information about RSA, and the math behind it, you can always check out the Wikipedia article.Īdditionally, for another example of the math behind RSA, and cracking it, I recommend the following post.Īll of that said, I’m no cryptographer, so this was more an attempt to see how easy it was for me to crack these keys.

If you haven’t seen the video yet, Crown Sterling cracked a 256-bit RSA key in front of a live audience in 50 seconds. As it’s been making the rounds recently, I wanted to try my hand at cracking 256-bit RSA keys.
