Driftwood : Private Key Usage Verification

Driftwood is a tool that can enable you to lookup whether a private key is used for things like TLS or as a GitHub SSH key for a user.

Driftwood performs lookups with the computed public key, so the private key never leaves where you run the tool. Additionally it supports some basic password cracking for encrypted keys.

Installation

Three easy ways to get started.

Run with Docker

cat private.key | docker run –rm -i trufflesecurity/driftwood –pretty-json –

Run pre-built binary

Download the binary from the releases page and run it.

Build yourself

go install github.com/trufflesecurity/driftwood@latest

Usage

Minimal usage is

$ driftwood path/to/privatekey.pem

Run with --help to see more options.
