Inspired by OpenWall's\npwqgen utility, part of the **passwdqc** toolkit.  It tries to\ngenerate easy to remember but hard to crack passwords.\n\n## Requirements ##\n\n* GNU sed\n* GNU grep\n* GNU coreutils\n* Bash\n* A myspell dictionary file (usually installed with the hunspell\n  package of your Linux distribution) *or* your own word list file\n  (see note below).\n\n## Installation ##\n\n* Run `make install` to install bashpass system-wide.  Else it can be\n  run from any path.\n\n## Usage ##\n\nBy default bashpass will attempt to use a myspell dictionary file in\nthe locale of the shell it is running under (i.e., whatever the\n**LANG** environment variable is set to). You can specify your own\nword list as well (see options below).  The default password length\nwill be three words separated by a random punctuation/number\ncharacter but this can also be changed.\n\nFor example, run without any options, bashpass will generate\npasswords like *behalves9plangent^Buber*.  See the options below for\nother variants that bashpass can generate.\n\n### Options ###\n\n* `-n` : number of words to use in the password. Defaults to '3'.\n* `-d` : path to a word list file to use to generate the password.\n  Defaults to the myspell dictionary of the running shell's locale\n  (using the **LANG** environment variable).\n* `-b` : *bracketize* the words in the password (i.e., put a random\n  set of brackets around each of the words). This generates passwords\n  like *(Catullus)8{Chomsky}%(Bremen)*.\n* `-v` : *replace vowels* any vowels in each word are replaced by\n  random punctuation marks.\n* `-s` : *surround* the password with extra symbol characters (i.e.,\n  add a symbol on the front and end of the password). This generates\n  passwords like *0budded$snugger+uppity%*.\n\nThe `-b`, `-v` and `-s` options can be combined.\n\n### Using your own word list ###\n\nThe format of the word list file specified y the `-d` option should be\na list of words, one per line.  i.e.:\n\n```shell\ncorrect\nbattery\nhorse\nstaple\netc.\n```\n\nNote that using your own word list can significantly change the\nentropy of the passwords generated, potentially resulting in easier to\ncrack passwords...\n\n## Limitations ##\n\n* Only tested for the English language using the en_US and en_GB myspell\n  dictionaries.\n\n## References ##\n\n* http://arstechnica.com/security/2012/08/passwords-under-assault/\n* http://www.openwall.com/passwdqc/\n* https://xkcd.com/936/\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjoshuar%2Fbashpass","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjoshuar%2Fbashpass","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjoshuar%2Fbashpass/lists"}
