Rust crate and CLI for generating strong Diceware passphrases.

CLI usage

As of now you can install it globally via cargo (assuming you have cargo and rustc installed):

cargo install --git https://github.com/norskeld/diceware

Just invoke diceware --help. It's really simple.

diceware 0.1.1
Generates strong Diceware passphrases.

USAGE:
    diceware [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:
    -l, --length <LENGTH>        How much words you want to generate [default: 6]
    -w, --wordlist <WORDLIST>    Path to a custom wordlist
    -e, --entropy                Show entropy of the passphrase
    -h, --help                   Print help information
    -V, --version                Print version information

Crate usage

You can use this crate as a git dependency:

[dependencies]
diceware = { git = "https://github.com/norskeld/diceware" }

Notes

By default CLI uses the EFF long wordlist, which is a little bit better than the one original one.

Diceware

In short, passphrases are generated by "throwing" a dice five times, joining the numbers into one, and then looking up for the word with the corresponding number in the wordlist. This process repeats N times (default is 6) until all words are found. You can find more information about that technique on the official Diceware page or on the Diceware FAQ page.

Todo

  • Tests.
  • Homebrew formula for installing binary.
