for the record, pem2openpgp works with both public keys and private
keys.

Google is a pretty great tool for this kind of things.
Here is one of the results I found:

As far as I can tell from the source, it uses the method I suggested,
decreasing timestamp one by one, and it finds a fingerprint that ends in a
given string of b
Hi everyone
Thanks for your input so far. I am surprised to learn about the
suggested methods. For my example 1, I had assumed there would be only
(1/16)^4 combinations so it should be fairly quick (i.e. less than a
week to find one).
Let say for now, I just want my full fingerprint to start with
The easiest strategy, of course, is to simply use gpg to generate a key and
check its fingerprint until you get the one you need (see batch mode).
Generation of an RSA 2048 key is taking around a second, so e.g. for your
example #1 (four bytes fixed) we are talking tens of hours or ones of days.
I
According to my understanding of crypto theory, your only way is to
generate keys and compare their fingerprints and with the value you
want. I would be surprised that you can find one in your lifetime. Or
it'd be a breakthrough in cryptography if you managed to do it somehow.
Thanks,
