I was wondering since I found keyutils and messed around and it showed me my first 5 letters of my key (which I am pretty sure are true or Im just stupid). So is there any way this can work with my first 5 letters?

The first five keys are the public part. You can get them at any time with the console command getPublicKey(). There's nothing you can do with them.

No, the first 5 letters are literally your BLID. The rest is different. There are others that know a lot about the key format. (COUGH IPQ, ZEBLOTE, ETC COUGH)

yes hello
zsno is right, the first five characters are just your BLID encoded in a special way, specifically base 32 with the characters "ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ23456 789" where A is 0 B is 1, etc... If you don't understand that, no problem, just know it isn't dangerous if someone finds out the first 5 characters of your key. mine is AAKCM, go wild
edit: you literally said you found out from my program lol nevermind
