Public/Validate-SSHPrivateKey.ps1

                                <#

    .SYNOPSIS

        This function is meant to determine the following:

            - Whether or not the specified file is, in fact, an SSH Private Key

            - If the SSH Private Key File is password protected

        In order to test if we have a valid Private Key, and if that Private Key

        is password protected, we try and generate a Public Key from it using ssh-keygen.

        Depending on the output of ssh-keygen, we can make a determination.

    .DESCRIPTION

        See .SYNOPSIS

    .NOTES

    .PARAMETER PathToPrivateKeyFile

        This parameter is MANDATORY.

        This parameter takes a string that represents a full path to the file that we believe is

        a valid SSH Private Key that we want to test.

    .EXAMPLE

        # Open an elevated PowerShell Session, import the module, and -

        PS C:\Users\zeroadmin> Validate-SSHPrivateKey -PathToPrivateKeyFile "$HOME\.ssh\random"
