This is a library for querying the pwnedkeys.com API. It allows you to provide a public key, and determine whether or not the corresponding public key has ever been exposed to the public, rendering it permanently unsafe to use.
Due to recent changes in the openssl standard library, this code requires
at least Ruby 2.5 to run.
Installation
It's a gem!
gem install pwnedkeys-api-client
If you're the sturdy type that likes to run from git:
rake install
Or, if you've eschewed the convenience of Rubygems entirely, then you presumably know what to do already.
Usage
To query for a pwned key, simply create a new Pwnedkeys::Request, passing in
the public key you want to query for:
require "pwnedkeys/request"
key = OpenSSL::PKey.read("/tmp/suss_key")
query = Pwnedkeys::Request.new(key)
Then, just ask whether it's pwned!
query.pwned?
You'll get back a true or false answer in next-to-no-time. If any problems
crop up (like the signature can't be validated, or the API doesn't respond) you'll
get a Pwnedkeys::Request::Error exception.
