I find it very funny that computer security is based on a principle of randomly generated secret.

Anyone could *potentially* generate the exact same secret when trying to brute force a system :flan_laugh:

It's unlikely in practice, but it's theoretically possible to brute force a system in one try

I have no guarantee that today, someone won't be generating an SSH key identical to mine :flan_shrug:

@solene Particularly true if your RNG is less R than hoped, as happened to Debian back in 2008 jblevins.org/log/ssh-vulnkey
