Good afternoon all!! I am writing a shell script that will generate a random phrase to be used as a password.
this is the line I use to generate the password
The third input in the command is the length of the password i want to use.
What I do next is login to a Oracle DB and change a user accounts password using what was generated. I would prefer that password nor its generation of it be discover via ps or anything like that. My question is what gets captured by the server in the /proc/PID/ folders or any server logs? Is there a way to work around any of that being captured? Thanks.
