Diceware Passphrase Generator

This is a command-line tool for generating secure passphrases based on the diceware method. The diceware method uses a list of words and random dice rolls to create strong and memorable passwords.

Docker

1. Pull the Docker image.

   docker pull sosaymon/diceware-passphrase-generator

2. Run the Docker container.

   docker run -it sosaymon/diceware-passphrase-generator

Usage

Run the diceware.py script with the desired options to generate a passphrase.

python diceware.py [-h] [-w NUMBER OF WORDS] [--wordlist=wordlist.txt]

Options

• -h, --help: Show the help message and exit.
• -w NUMBER OF WORDS, --words=NUMBER OF WORDS: Specify the number of words in the passphrase.
• --wordlist=wordlist.txt: Specify the wordlist file to use for generating the passphrase. If not provided, the default wordlist (wordlist.txt) will be used.

If you don't specify the options when running the script, an interactive prompt will ask you for the number of words and the wordlist.

Wordlist

The tool uses a wordlist file containing a set of words. If you want to use a custom wordlist, make sure it is a text file where each word is on a separate line. The default wordlist (wordlist.txt) is used if no custom wordlist is specified.

Example

Here's an example of how to use the tool:

python diceware.py -w 6

This command will generate a passphrase consisting of 6 random words from the default wordlist.

Disclaimer

Please note that the security of your generated passphrase depends on the quality and randomness of the wordlist used. Use a trusted wordlist and ensure that it has enough entropy to provide adequate security.
