Password Generation from CLI

[Lobster]

My sister proudly displayed her new password book. However what if 'Greys' or intelligent Lizards from another dimension sneak in and have a peak?

This works on my 64 based Puppy from the command line to generate a random password, then I can add a few non-alphanumerics for good measure. Any good?

Code: Select all

openssl rand -base64 20

the 20 can be change to 8 or whatever ...

I want to to find Puppy code for GROWL (my developing Security code) to generate a password. Many systems now require letters, upper and lowercase and numbers AND this 'stuff'

Code: Select all

!"$%^&*()_+

Ay Caramba! Mama Mia!

Any coders solved this?

[SFR]

Would something like this do the trick?

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh 

# Generates a password with at least: 
# - 1 lowercase letter 
# - 1 uppercase letter 
# - 1 digit 
# - 1 punctuation mark 
# 
# [[:lower:]] = lowercase letters 
# [[:upper:]] = uppercase letters 
# [[:digit:]] = digits 
# [[:punct:]] = punctuation marks 

#LENGTH="${1//[^[:digit:]]/}"   # this syntax works with Bash/BB-Ash, but not Dash 
LENGTH="$(echo "$1" | tr -cd '[[:digit:]]')" 

[ -z ${LENGTH} ] && { echo "Usage: $0 <password_length>"; exit 1; } 
[ ${LENGTH} -lt 4 ] && LENGTH=4   # must be at least 4, or else the loop below will never end 

while true; do 
   PASS="$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd '[[:alnum:]][[:punct:]]' | head -c ${LENGTH})" 
   if [ -z "${PASS##*[[:lower:]]*}" -a -z "${PASS##*[[:upper:]]*}" -a -z "${PASS##*[[:digit:]]*}" -a -z "${PASS##*[[:punct:]]*}" ]; then 
     break   # all criteria were met, so break the loop 
   fi 
done 

echo "${PASS}" 
exit

The SFR script doesn't seem to work for me on my Slacko 5.6 derivative. Hangs in terminal and never returns a password. Will reboot and try again.

Works OK in Fatdog.

Will try it on Slacko next...

Just checked in Slacko-5.7 and indeed, it hangs. Thanks for the info, btw.

Anyway, it turned out Slacko does not recognize '[[:graph:]]' class for some reason, so I replaced it with '[[:alnum:]][[:punct:]]' combo.
Script corrected.

Greetings!

Both work in Quirky Xerus.

Personally, I'm not a fan of long clunky passwords nor am I foolish enough to use: qwerty or 123456... LOL

Anyway, thank you both for the new toys!

Thanks - works great now. How ironic - the first time I run the script the generated password ends with "NZ". Hows that for random!

Code: Select all

# ./pwgen
Usage: ./pwgen <password_length>
# ./pwgen 9
1b4{Y0lNZ
# ./pwgen 9
K%F-k74Bq
#

Cheers!

Anyway, it turned out Slacko does not recognize '[[:graph:]]' class for some reason, so I replaced it with '[[:alnum:]][[:punct:]]' combo.

It hangs for me too in 5.6 (are we talking about 5.6 or 5.7?)

On the other hand I find nothing wrong with [:graph:]. I made a small script to test all POSIX bracket expressions. Like all other expressions [:graph:] is properly recognized:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# POSIX bracket expressions
#~ [:alnum:]    Alphanumeric characters [a-zA-Z0-9]
#~ [:alpha:]    Alphabetic characters   [a-zA-Z]
#~ [:ascii:]    ASCII characters
#~ [:blank:]    Space and tab
#~ [:cntrl:]    Control characters
#~ [:digit:]    Digits  [0-9]
#~ [:graph:]    Visible characters (anything except spaces and control characters)
#~ [:lower:]    Lowercase letters   [a-z]
#~ [:print:]    Visible characters and spaces (anything except control characters)
#~ [:punct:]    Punctuation and symbols
#~ [:space:]    All whitespace characters, including line breaks
#~ [:upper:]    Uppercase letters   [A-Z]
#~ [:word:]     Word characters (letters, numbers and underscores)
#~ [:xdigit:]   Hexadecimal digits

BRACKET=[:graph:]

echo $BRACKET
echo ---------
for i in {0..127}; do  # ASCII decimal
    CHARACTER=$(echo -e "\x$(printf %x $i)")
    INCLUDED=${CHARACTER/[$BRACKET]/OK}
    [[ $INCLUDED != OK ]] && INCLUDED=-
    ASCIIDEC="00$i"
    ASCIIDEC=${ASCIIDEC: -3}
    echo ASCII $ASCIIDEC $INCLUDED
done

Both.

Yes, it seems shell can handle it, but not Busybox tr, which is the only one in Slackos (and maybe all Puppies?):

Code: Select all

# Slacko-5.7 (Busybox tr)
# strings /usr/bin/tr | grep -w '^.*:]'
alpha:]
alnum:]
digit:]
lower:]
upper:]
space:]
blank:]
punct:]
cntrl:]
xdigit:]
#
#
# Fatdog (Coreutils tr)
# grep -ao '\[:.*:]' /usr/bin/tr
[::]
[:alnum:]
[:alpha:]
[:blank:]
[:cntrl:]
[:digit:]
[:graph:]
[:lower:]
[:print:]
[:punct:]
[:space:]
[:upper:]
[:xdigit:]
[:lower:] and [:upper:]
[:upper:] and/or [:lower:]
# 

Oh well, yet another thing I need to watch over in my scripts...

Greetings!

Thanks SFR that works nicely.

The first version you posted did not because many Puppys use Busybox instead of the full Bash. Thanks for modifying the code in the first post . . .

I look at the code and I am baffled (my brain is mostly jelly) I can not code to save my sardine collection . . .

Rather than calling the code as a separate code snippet, I want to incorporate into GROWL directly. Might that be possible?

How can this be done? It will take me ages to work out so here is your code (which runs but should not unless called . . . with the sort of menu item required . . .)

My feeling is your code would make a useful addition to Puppy with a front end (not everyone is comfortable from the command line)

Code: Select all

<menuitem> 
<label>RNG Password</label> 
<action>echo "${PASS}" &</action> 
</menuitem>

This is GROWL with your code but for obvious reason the code needs to be separate or in a procedure of some sort?

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash 
# 
# GROWL v2.06 March 2017 beta  Thur 6 April - not release version

Many thanks SFR
Works a treat. Very nicely and quickly done. Would have taken me too long ...
