It can use any dictionary and the best -available source of randomness, including PGP's cryptographic RNG if you -have version 2.6.2. It is written in portable C, and it is fairly fast. - -You can use ppgen to generate passphrases whenever you have a program that -accepts long passwords. I use it for Kerberos and for local passwords -(I use the FreeBSD MD5-based crypt(3), not the standard limited Unix one), -and for my PGP keyring. - -Because ppgen is so simple, it can also easily be used by passwd(1) -or adduser(1) programs to choose passwords for users. |
