swordfish --- a password generator

Perderabo · #1 (**permalink**) 12-18-2004

Here is my new password generation script. The attachment, swordfish.txt, is in dos format. Remember that you need to use dos2unix or flip or something to get it into unix format.

The script is self documenting. It has an extensive help system built-in. And you can run:
swordfish "set LineLength=75" "help user_guide"
to get a complete user guide.

Here is a sample run to show some of the features:

Code:

$ ./swordfish
>>}###@>---- format +s +x 10
password statistics are on
password expansions are on
10 passwords will be generated per template
