Oooooh. This could be interesting. Check out @key
@key @atoponce I've been wondering...
@petejohanson It looks like @key posts every hour. They appear to be SHA-256 digests, but could just be random 256-bit hex strings also.

Huh. @petejohanson There is one post that isn't a hex digest. Encrypted maybe, with one of the previous posted keys?

@petejohanson Looks like it:

% base64 -d /tmp/file.b64 > /tmp/file.bin
% file /tmp/file.bin
/tmp/file.bin: openssl enc'd data with salted password

So I'm curious if a posted key was used, and which cipher algorithm was used. Curious if you can discover the cipher algorithm with OpenSSL?

@atoponce prediction: you will spend the next three days figuring out which key, decrypt it, only to reveal an ASCII-art penis.

@petejohanson I don't want to go through all the past keys by hand. Curious how to do this with the API.

/me has far too much to be working on to try and figure this out
