   Yeah...  well, I was messin' around.   
      
   I liked it when my bank would serve up a pre-selected image of my choice     
   after login as kind of final verification that I've landed on the "real"     
   bank site.   
      
   I recently came across this sort of thing:   
      
   $ ssh-keygen -f foo

   The key fingerprint is:

   The key's randomart image is:
