ppgen

A simple passphrase generator.

Installation

cd ppgen/
cargo install --path .

Usage

Generate a 5 word long random passphrase with wordlist:

ppgen -c 5 -w /usr/share/dict/words

Generate a 5 word long random passphrase with multiple wordlists:

ppgen -c 5 -w path/to/wordlists/* # your shell needs to support wildcards

Wordlists

By default, the default wordlist on the system is used. To increase the passphrase entropy, it's recommended to use other or additional wordlists. There are many good wordlists for diceware passphrases that can be downloaded from sources at: https://theworld.com/~reinhold/diceware.html .
