Bitaddress.org could easily be compromised. 

Ask yourself:

How do you know the random number generator is truly random?
I would throw in a few manual changes to the private key it gives you.

How can I go about doing that while making sure it's still a valid address?  I know there is a checksum at the end or something but I don't know what I can change in the address.


How do you know the address are being correctly derived from the supposedly random private keys?
I would check the private key / address pair against other bitcoin software to make sure they match.

That's what I do at least.

Thanks, that sounds like a good idea.  Maybe grab html from brainwallet.org, bitaddress.org, and a third like
