diceware

Simple Python script that gives you a secure password.

For a more thorough explanation, check out my blog.

How the script works...

The script emulates n amount of die rolls (five digits each). The default is three words.

1. The script gets a five digit number and matches that number to a word in the provided wordlist.
2. It adds a random ASCII punctuation character which becomes the delimeter.
3. It also adds a random number (1-3 in length) to the end.
4. Finally, it has a 50/50 chance of capitalizing the word.
