i wonder what would happen if you made a site this that looked similar and asked people to upload their private ssh key to "check if it's safe". Sort of like the phishing sites that ask you to type your whole credit card number to "see if it's been compromised".
based on the number of people I've seen that totally don't understand the concept between the public and private portions of their key, I bet you'd collect a lot.

I 100% assumed that's what this would be until I clicked on it. I feel like a large portion of (especially beginner) SSH users don't really understand asymmetric encryption enough to understand the implications there.
