Passgen

Password Generation Utility by Zach Young zach@zavtralabs.com

I'm sure there are better ones out there, but I wrote this ages ago, and it's still useful. When cryptographic perfection isn't necessary, this works pretty well.

Building

To build type make. Executable can be moved wherever is convenient. This program was built on Linux and Mac OS X using GCC. Other compilers should also work, but none have been tested.

Use

./passgen

Parameters

  • -n= Number of passwords to generate
  • -l= Length of passwords
  • -s= Strength (1 = [0-9], 2 = [0-9a-z], 3 = [0-9A-Za-z], 4 = [0-9A-Za-z] + special chars)
