Munge signatures!? He generated an RSA key pair to match the pre-published signature based on generating primes of special form and/or using multiple smaller primes to construct an n which he could perform discrete logs in (plus a dead beef attack), and all you can say is the above. You should take you hat off to anonymous.
What he did is respectable. Is he the first? I doubt it. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
