Send a secret to Octopus

Sometimes you may need to send sensitive information to Octopus support, such as a Master Key. In order to do so, place your secret in the following PowerShell script and it will encrypt it for Octopus eyes only.

$yourSecret = "Hello Octopus!" # Place your secret here

$octopusPublicKey = "MIIDnzCCAwigAwIBAgIJAK5yFHmnxrYxMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMIGSMQswCQYDVQQGEwJBVTEMMAoGA1UECBMDUUxEMREwDwYDVQQHEwhCcmlzYmFuZTEhMB8GA1UEChMYT2N0b3B1cyBEZXBsb3kgUHR5LiBMdGQuMRcwFQYDVQQDEw5PY3RvcHVzIERlcGxveTEmMCQGCSqGSIb3DQEJARYXaGVsbG9Ab
