Vanity PGP Key Miner

A high-performance vanity PGP key miner written in Rust using Sequoia-PGP. This tool generates PGP keys until it finds one with a fingerprint matching specified patterns.

Linux Dependencies

For Ubuntu 24.04+:

sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config clang nettle-dev libgmp-dev libpcsclite-dev libclang-dev

Build the optimized version:

make release

Usage

Basic usage:

# Default: generate 2 million keys
make mine name="Your Name" email="[email protected]"

# Custom total: generate 1 million keys
make mine name="Your Name" email="[email protected]" total=1000000

The program will create a gpg_export directory containing:

• public_key_N.asc: Public keys for matches found
• found_keys.txt: Log of all matches with patterns

Pattern Examples

The miner searches for keys matching these patterns:

• DEADBEEF: Classic hexspeak
• CAFEBABE: Java magic number
• DEADC0DE: Dead code
• FEEDFACE: Feed face

Performance Tips

Build with native optimizations (already included in Makefile):

RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo build --release
