Improving the security of your SSH private key files
>  openssl pkcs8 -topk8 -v2 des3 \<p>>    -in test_rsa_key.old -passin 'pass:super secret passphrase' \<p>>    -out test_rsa_key -passout 'pass:super secret passphrase'<p>Is there a way to do this without including the password on the command line? Because somehow I don't think having your private key's password in your .bash_history will improve the security of your key.<p>[edit] Oh I see, just don't specify and it'll ask. I get that he's doing this with a sample key, but you just know someone's going to scan through this and do that command on their real key.
