spass-2.0 – Secure Password Generator
This is a complete rewrite of my secure password generator. The new version uses my a true random number generator (and here).
The major change was using the new true random number generator in order to ensure strong passwords. Less significant changes include an easy way to specify password’s strips, and some calling convention changes.
Usage examples:
$ ./spass E5pT35Fg $ ./spass -l 14 R$tfOm4g_yRQ2J $ ./spass -s 0-9a-f -l 32 8b5f14a1eeaabe58c2878ab5416a9ebb
Download the tarball spass-2.0.tar.bz2. The program depends on Boost‘s program_options (it was tested against version 1.37 and 1.42 and should work with other versions too).

As always, I tried to make the command-line interface as user-friendly as possible (as much as a command-line interface can be friendly).
