Having decidedly too much fun playing with ancient #PGP artifacts.

Note the two version 2 public keys from 1992. They were created just over a year after Phil Zimmermann first released PGP (on 6 June 1991), deep in the crypto war era.

These keys predate the #OpenPGP name by around half a decade.

At over 31 years old, nation-state actors can definitely factor John Gilmore's RSA 1024 key today.
However, I believe the cost still exceeds a hobbyist budget even now.
