A collection of scripts that generate random strings of text, each made for a different scenario.
rpg-urandom.sh uses the built-in RNG present on most Linux/Unix systems (including Android).
This is much faster compared to rpg-bash.sh and can generate thousands of new passwords in seconds.
It is also the most secure option and should preferred over rpg-bash.sh.
rpg-openssl.sh uses the RNG found in OpenSSL.
It is also secure and can be used as an alternative to rpg-urandom.sh
rpg-bash.sh is a script that only uses Bash's built-in functions to generate random strings.
This means that no external utilities (save for nproc) are needed to run it; only the Bash shell is required.
You can remove the nproc dependency by commenting out the Threads=$(( $(nproc) / 2 )) variable.
This script is also compatible with zsh.
Simply change #!/usr/bin/env bash at the start of the script to #!/usr/bin/env zsh and it should work without issues.
The RNG function found within Bash and ZSH are less secure than the alternatives listed above.
Only use this if the alternatives are not viable.
rpg-bash.sh was made with performance in mind.
As a result, some parts of the script may appear badly written or redundant.
I heard cats are great at generating secure random passwords.
Just place them on your keyboard and watch the magic happen :P
