Installation
pwdpy requires Python 3.x.
pwdpy can be installed with pip:
$ pip install pwdpy
Usage (command line)
pwdpy accepts several arguments configuring its outcome. Overall synopsis is:
$ pwdpy {generate, entropy} [-h] [-l LENGTH] [-q QUANTITY] [-p] [-d] [-le] [-nu] [-nl] [-cf FILE] [-o FILE]
Commands: generate Generates a random password based on the arguments
**entropy** Calculate the entropy of a password
GENERATE Arguments:
-h, --help Display help message
-l, --length LENGTH The length of the password (default: 8)
-q, --quantity QUANTITY Generate QUANTITY passwords. (default: 1)
-p, --punctuation Use punctuation characters (default: False)
-d, --digits Use digits (default: False)
-le, --letters Use letter (default: False)
-nu, --no-upper Don't use upper case letters (default: False)
-nl, --no-lower Don't use lower case letters (default: False)
-cf, --charset-file FILE Charset file will be used instead of the arguments specification
-o FILE, --output FILE The output file will be created with the passwords.
ENTROPY Arguments:
-pwd, --password PASSWORD password that will be tested
Examples
Below are some examples of pwdpy usage.
GENERATE:
One password with letters and digits:
$ pwdpy generate -le -d
MT06aRK1
One password with 12 digits:
$ pwdpy generate -l 12 -d
304751766483
One password with all characters possibility:
$ pwdpy generate -le -d -p
PY>8OH+y
A list containing 3 passwords with all characters possibility:
$ pwdpy generate -q 3 -le -d -p
['Xw]6ua77', 'SfmCrlg)', 'I9):o8Oa']
One password with all characters possibility from the charset file:
$ pwdpy generate -cf ./wordlist.txt
}=W8jb4y
ENTROPY:
Calculing one password entropy:
$ pwdpy entropy -pwd "PY>8OH+y"

Python module
pwdpy Python module provides one function that is called generate.
| def generate(quantity=1, length=8, punctuation=True, digits=True, letters=True, l_upper=True, l_lower=True, charset=[], charset_file="", **kwargs)
It returns a string with length characters. punctuation, digits and letters arguments specify whether punctuation, digits and letters should be used. l_upper and l_lower specifies letter wich case the letter can be.
