Comment on Has anyone else ever seen an SSH key/fingerprint thing string together an actual word? Or how about a curse word? XD

We had a system at work that generated 4 character alphanumeric reference numbers. Originally to avoid this they just excluded vowels from the letters but eventually they grew enough they ran out of available reference numbers so they added the vowels back in and I had to built the blacklist to avoid stuff like this happening. I reckon I probably tripped every IT filter known to man in a week long period looking for swear words in a variety of languages 😂
