If you use an actual bash script instead of a one-liner, and you can do things like 'silently' read in the password with `read -s` in the standard *nix convention, even read it twice to avoid mistyping your master key and temporarily locking yourself out of an account you just created.
- raverbashing 13y agoHere's a tentative crude solution http://pastebin.com/MuV8vtcR http://pastebin.com/MuV8vtcR you can pass a "salt" as the first argument as well (it will merely be concatenated with the password)
- Jach 13y agoYou should quote your vars in the if check, otherwise it doesn't handle spaces very well. (And really the master key should be a master passphrase.) A few years ago I whipped this up: http://www.thejach.com/public/pw2 http://www.thejach.com/public/pw2 (I don't recommend other people use it but it works for me.) I type in something along the lines of "my secret passphrase ycombinator.com". It doesn't do hash iteration and uses the hash as a seed to Python's RNG which I use to get random bytes and then have a password character-space of any printable character -- it also outputs an alpha-numeric version along with different string sizes to handle those dumb sites that put restrictions on your password.
