a few years ago i found out about diceware: again i was late to the party.
https://neilt.org/weblog/rolling-the-dice.html
https://neilt.org/diceware.html
since then i sometimes use a modified diceware approach to constructing passwords. I was using online diceware resources as well as real dice.
this week i revisited diceware in my stumbles in bash:
shuf -n5 diceware_combined_list.txt | tr '\n' ' '; shuf -i 0-9 -n1 | tr '\n' ' '; shuf -n1 keyboard_symbols.txt
- 2021-03-27 some diceware word lists combined, sorted, uniqued! (17,265 words, 105K)
- 2021-03-27 - some keyboard symbols, some doubled for giggles. (37 symbols, 90B)
beware! there may be rude words in the list of words! if you feel that you may be offended: turn back now!
use the symbols or digits as you want, where you want. change the number of words (default 5) as you wish, pad as you see fit. obviously not suitable for dice use.
goodnuff for us mere mortals, methinks.
my first run with the word list had some non-unix line endings that i fixed with: dos2unix. no point in reinventing the wheel.
