cryptofairy, I thought it might be easier (for me, anyway) to use the command line program "ssh-keygen" to generate keys instead of having to look up where i saved the link to that thing (my browser of choice doesn't support bookmarks.), and I noticed that it produces public keys in the format: ssh-rsa lotsletters myusername@mycomputersname I have a slight preference to not having myusername@mycomputersname in my public keys, but it's ultimately not a big deal if it has to be like that. i have read the man page for ssh-keygen. Is there a way to not have a key that includes the plain text me@mycomputer?

i just mean if you know off the top of your head. if you don't, that's okay too.

I was suspicious of michaelblume earlier but I realized that if he were in the mafia, targeting Tulip would make him suspicous because Tulip was 1 out of 2 people to vote for him in the last day. I'm voting to kill ozymandias because they were the only other person to vote for michaelblume, and if they were in the mafia, killing Tulip would be a way to make michaelblume more suspicious.

I would like to remind everyone that DanielH is as suspicious as he was last turn, and also voted to kill the Charlie.

I don't see how the mafia would have known he's the cop. Are there any roles for members of the mafia that can investigate the roles of townspeople? And if there are, there was only one night, why would that role pick AndaisQ to investigate?

I agree with pistachi0n that michaelblume doesn't seem like the correct person to go after, here. It's too obvious, I sense a framing. Tulip's death doesn't make sense if he were a mafia member, but it does make sense if a mafia member were trying to get us to kill him.

Ozymandias and futurevision both seem like pretty good options; neither of them talk very much, thus making me suspicious. Ozymandias seems more suspicious than futurevision; I am loathe to go after another person that doesn't seem to mind being lynched, after AndaisQ.

But now the mafia might adopt that strategy if one of them is on the chopping block because it worked for AndaisQ.

Actually it didn't work out for him at all, but I see your point :P

So I'm therefore up for killing ozymandias and futurevision. Ozymandias first, to see if they'll defend themself.

Oops, I phrased that wrong! I was trying to say that it's what got AndaisQ killed and we regret killing AndaisQ, so they might do the same thing he did assuming we "learned from our mistakes."

I don’t think ssh-keygen is the right tool for the job. The site most people are using, and the zsh script in the zip files, instead use the openssl command-line tool directly. It has rather poor documentation (it might also have good docs, but if so I haven’t found them), but here are the commands you’ll need if you want to use it:

• To generate keys:

  Code: Select all

  openssl genrsa [numbits]

  (numbits defaults to 1024).
• To encrypt:

  Code: Select all

  echo $plaintext | openssl rsautl -pubin -inkey $pubkey -encrypt | base64

  (or just specify the private key for the -inkey argument and don’t include the -pubin)
• To decrypt:

  Code: Select all

  echo $ciphertext | base64 -d | openssl rsautl -inkey $privkey -decrypt

For all of these openssl commands, you can use -in to specify an input filename and -out to specify an output filename, instead of the default stdin and stdout. Of course, then you’ll need to do the base64 conversion separately.
