Creates a random passphrase using books from Project Gutenberg.
Another passphrase generator based on XKCD #936. This command line generator, written in Python 3, creates a random passphrase primarily using the Python secrets module and specific books from Project Gutenberg, and further generates information on an estimated time to crack the passphrase using zxcvbn-python.
Default books used include:
- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
- Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
- Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne
- A Manual or an Easy Method of Managing Bees by John M. Weeks
Use due diligence with any password generator you use.
- The standalone executable has been tested on Microsoft Windows 10.
- The source code has been tested on Microsoft Windows 10 running Python 3.10.6.
- Dependencies required to run the source code consist of zxcvbn-python 4.4.28.
- The standalone executable is compressed in a zip folder. Once you unzip the folder, you may run the program by running
passphrase_generator.exe. Additionally, you may replace the four default books used, which are located in thebooksfolder. The book file names must not be changed.
To run the program, open the file passphrase_generator.exe. When the program has opened you will see information about the program, a passphrase, and the estimated time to crack the passphrase. You will also be presented with a yes or no question where you type y or n if you would like another passphrase generated.
