Password Gen - Overclock.net

pauldovi · 01-21-08

I wrote a little program that will generate random passwords. The .exe as well as the source code is available. The program was written in C and I didn't comment (sorry).

Current Version 1.1.1.

Change Log:

1.0.0 - Initial Version
1.0.1 - Include the ability to save password to file
1.1.0 - Ability to change file name, includes error bound (Password Length 0-26 aloud)
1.1.1 - Added additional error bound checking that was missed in 1.1.0

To be added to new version:

Ability to generated new password if current gen is not desired.
Ability to rename file name if current filename already exist and user does not want to overwrite.
Ability to append (add to) current password files.
Add special characters to password.

Java Version

The Java version of Password Gen is a lightweight application that has no GUI. It follows the following command line argument:

*active director*: java PasswordGen DesiredLength a-z A-Z 0-9 special

For example: *active director*: java PasswordGen 10 1 1 1 0

would yield a random password with 10 characters made up of a through z, A through Z, and 0 through 9.

Paul: Yes it can.

This app would help me at work when I create new user accounts. No more silly 'abc123' passwords.

It was a friendly joke. I respect Pauldovi as a programmer, he is far superior to me. I was merely pointing out it is a very simple ,yet useful, program. Some of the best applications out use this to their advantage.

I can make a smaller version that doesn't prompt the user for a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and doesn't clear the memory that contained the randomly generated password. I suspect it would be about 7kb

That is not a bug. That is the user being malicious.
