Password_Generator

A simple password generator : Decimal, Hexadecimal, Letters (uppercase and lowercase), Special characters or Custom ASCII list

How to ?

Build

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make gcc
make

Use

By default when calling the command Password_Generator with no arguments it generates by default 4 Hexadecimal passwords of 32 characters (16 bytes)

Can generate password with :

  • Upercase letters [A..Z]
  • Lowercase letters [a..z]
  • Decimal numbers [0..9]
  • Hexadecimal numbers [0..9][A..F]
  • Special characters "<>?,.;:!%&#{}()[]-_@+=|"
  • Custom ASCII list (up to 256 ASCII characters)

Limitations :

  • Password length up to 512 characters
  • Password number up to 512 passwords generated

These limitations may be increased by changing the following constant in the main.c :

#define MAX_PASSWORD_LEN      512  /* 512 characters length maximum */
#define MAX_PASSWORD_NUM      512  /* 512 passwords maximum to generate */

Usage :

Password_Generator [options] :
-h          : Display help / argument list / usage
-l <length> : Password Length (character number) [1..64] - Default = 32 characters
-n <number> : Number of password to generate [1..100] - Default = 4 passwords
-H          : Use hexadecimal characters [0..9][A..F] - Default
-D          : Use decimal characters [0..9]
-U          : Use uppercase letters characters [A..Z]
-L          : Use lowercase letters characters [a..z]
-S          : Use special letters characters "<>?,.;:!%&#{}()[]-_@+=|"
-C "List"   : Use a custom ASCII list of characters (up to 256 characters in the list)
-E          : Exclude similar characters (i, l, 1, L, o, 0, O, Q, I, |)

Example 1 : Password type = Hexadecimal - Length = 10 characters (5 bytes) - Number of password to generate = 5

Call the following command : Password_Generator -l 10 -n 5 -H

Output example :

./Password_Generator -l 10 -n 5 -H
