SSH Keygen is a Linux/Unix utility that is used to generate, manage, and convert authentication keys for ssh authentication. With the help of the SSH Keygen tool, a user can create passphrase keys for both SSH protocol version 1 and version 2. SSH keygen tool creates RSA keys for SSH protocol version 1 and RSA or DSA keys for use by SSH protocol version 2. The SSH keygen tool stores the private key in $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa and the public key in $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub in the user’s home directory .

A chiptune, or chip music, is music written in sound formats where all the sounds are synthesized in real time by a computer or video game console sound chip, instead of using sample based synthesis. The golden age of chiptunes was the mid 1980s to early 1990s, when such sound chips were the most common method for creating music on computers. Chiptunes are closely related to video game music, which often featured chiptunes out of necessity. The term has also been recently applied to more

A key changer, sometimes shortened to keychan, is a small piece of software that changes the license key or serial number of a particular piece of proprietary software installed on a computer. As a key changer only changes a key, it is not the same as a keygen, which generates a new key.

astalavista.box.sk At its start in 1994, was one of the first search engines for computer security related information. In reality it turned out to be used as search engine for security exploits, software for usage in hacking and cracking and different keygenerators and software cracks. The site is also known for referencing things such as spyware and viruses. Because of this, the website is known to possibly contain data, links, downloadable files, and information some users would consider

A product key, also known as a CD key, is a specific software based key for a computer program. It certifies that the copy of the program is original. Activation is sometimes done offline by entering the key, or with software like Windows XP online activation is required to prevent multiple people using the same key. Computer games use product keys to verify that the game has not been illegally copied; for example, one could not play Battle.net powered games such as Diablo II or StarCraft

PARADOX (PDX) is a warez/demo group; an anonymous group of software engineers that devise ways to defeat software and video game licensing protections, a process known as cracking, which is illegal in most jurisdictions. They distribute cracks (software patches), keygens (key generators), and precracked versions of entire programs. Over the years, distribution methods have changed, starting out with physically transported floppy disks and BBS distribution. With the expansion of the internet

SafeCast is a registered trademark for Macrovision's legacy software protection system. Safecast features product activation (via telephone, or through internet), and executable wrapping technology. SafeCast can be easily defeated with a keygen. SafeCast overrides operating system security and safeguards and writes directly to the boot track of the local disk as part of its operation. TurboTax, Intuit's tax preparation software product, uses SafeCast in some versions, and the protection scheme

A crackme (often abbreviated by cm) is a small program designed to test a programmers reverse engineering skills. They are programmed by other reversers to have a legal way to crack software. Crackmes, Reversemes and Keygenmes generally have similar protection schemes and algorithms to those found in commercial protections, however due to the wide use of packers/protectors in commercial software, many crackmes are actually more difficult. A Keygenme specifically is designed for the reverser

The Warez scene, often referred to as The Scene (often capitalized) is a term of self reference used by a community that specializes in the underground distribution of warez, pirated content such as software, films, and music. There is a certain amount of crossover between the cracking and reverse engineering communities and this one, as the former cannot operate without the latter. The expression the scene had been in continual use in English for a long time before software even existed .
