[Tutor] Simple password generation
Hi. First post. I'm trying to (more or less) copy the functionality of quepasa (http://quepasa.sourceforge.net), a simple password generation script that builds passwords from a combination of a passphrase and another string (like a domain name). If you enter the same passphrase and string, you should get the same password (in case you forget...). I've added a bit so that if neither a passphrase nor a string is entered, the function returns a random (or somewhat random) eight- character string. Am i on the right track here? (I'm brand new to sha and so forth.) Criticisms? Thx! Trey --- import sha, re, base64, string from random import choice def QuePasa (salt='', passphrase='', length=8): salted = passphrase + salt newpasswd = '' if (salted): hash = sha.new(salted).digest() # for now, strip non-alphanumeric characters newpasswd = re.sub(r'\W', '', base64.encodestring(hash)) [:length] else: chars = string.letters + string.digits for i in range(length): newpasswd = newpasswd + choice(chars) return newpasswd if __name__ == "__main__": sites = ['thissite.com','thatsite.com', 'theothersite.com',''] passphrase = 'all your base are belong to us' for i in range(10): for site in sites: print "%s : %s" % (site, QuePasa(passphrase, site)) ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
Re: [Tutor] Web browser
Why do you need to use a web browser rather than doing this programmatically?
