Checks for weak RSA keys generated by Debian-based
systems. It uses the dowkd blacklist, which may be incomplete.
This page contains CSRs and certificates with known weak keys. Please let us know if it fails to identify a CSR or certificate you know to have weak key.

released between September 2006 and May 13th 2008 may be affected.
The Debian Security Team disclosed
this vulnerability in
