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.
