#PWGEN LINUX SYNTAX PASSWORD#
This will create a "a random sequence" password for you to use. Where password is a chosen word that will be used for the construction of the random string and salt is the jump in bytes to be used.
It is a very simple tool to use and very helpful, since you can use "normal text" together with a "salt" to jump-bit construction of the same password that you can recover afterwards, or alternatively you may want to get a completely random password all the time. In the case of creating a completely random password you can use the md5pass. You can use one of md5 tools that has precisely this purpose.
shorter than hex encoded (32 and 64 instead of 22 and 44) solutions such as md5sum/sha1sum, etc.Ĭredit to and especially the comments for my initial inspiration. the output can be easily selected and pasted or printed and retyped with minimal human error rates. 22 and 44 characters pair quite nicely (just above even) common power of two breakpoints. doesn't "waste" much randomness (uses 89% of the random bits it receives vs ~24% for solutions directly piping to tr). it uses standard system tools - no extra binaries. the command is simple to type and memorable. 22 characters gives me: log 2(57 22) > 128.32 bits of entropy.
