RNDpass/!RNDpass/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Why !RNDpass?
-------------
The word 'password' in this document may also be interpreted as 'pass phrase'
(see below). There are many encryption programs around, some with algorithms
that are virtually unbreakable. So an attacker would look for the weakest
link, which is the password. A password needs to be as strong as possible
but easy to remember. !RNDpass tries to give some *ideas* for your password.
______________________________________________________________________________
Setting up !RNDpass?
--------------------
The program is already set up for English. The word list is in the file
Wordlist. This may be replaced by any other ASCII word list. You may alter
the list too. If you speak more languages, you may want to merge different
lists. The program accepts anything in ASCII. Some additional word lists,
including lists in Dutch, German, French and other languages, can be found at
ftp://sable.ox.ac.uk/pub/wordlists.
______________________________________________________________________________
Password passphrase.
--------------------
Some programs allow you to enter only one word for a password.
Some allow whole sentences. Those are called (surprise) pass phrases.
If you need a password, this program may seem to be of no use to you.
A single word is to easy to guess. But you can simply generate a pass phrase
and then strip the spaces.
______________________________________________________________________________
How to use !RNDpass?
-------------------
Most of the options are pretty self-explanatory.
� Number of words.....
� Minimum word length
� Maximum word length
Make sure the file Wordlist contains words in the specified range.
� Maximum number of words to try
If no words in the specified range are found after this number of tries,
the search will be aborted.
� Use special chars
To make the resulting password stronger some special characters (!"�$....)
are slipped in.
� Use caps
To make the resulting password stronger some random capitals are slipped in.
� Use smilies
To make the resulting password stronger some smilies are slipped in.
� Percentage added.....
This option inserts a certain percentage of 'Use...' things.
The total number of insertions is roughly x% of the password length.

______________________________________________________________________________
Running !RNDpass from within an archive.
----------------------------------------
!RNDpass is a fairly large program, mainly because of the long file
Wordlist. It may become even larger if you merge additional word lists.
If you are short of disc space, you can run !RNDpass from within an
archive, provided you have !SparkFS or a similar filing system. The
archive will occupy only a fraction of the space of the original
application, since the large text file Wordlist compresses very
efficiently. There may be a noticeable reduction in speed, but this
is a small price to pay, since it should not be necessary to use this
program frequently.
______________________________________________________________________________
Making things as secure as possible.
------------------------------------
First of all, make sure nobody is around when generating your password.
Even if someone else knows that you don't use caps, this is a weakness.
The ultimate password is a completely random set of characters like
'hLHLK7^*^*"LK����KlJKLh&'. This is most secure, but hard to remember.
So we need to find something strong that's relatively easy to remember.
Take a normal phrase like "Bill Gates owns Microsoft".
Lots of people associate Bill Gates with money, which suggests s=$ and L=�.
There are also a lot of nicknames for MickeySnot.
In some newsgroups, words like 'ruleZ' are popular.
This suggests a modified pass phrase like "Bi�� Gate$ ownZ MickeySoft".
That's less easy to guess, but perhaps still a little too obvious.
This example is only meant to show that a lot can be done to disguise a
simple pass phrase. If you know more than one language, a mix of them may
be very effective.
______________________________________________________________________________
Okay, I understand, but why is this necessary?
----------------------------------------------
One of the most popular, simple and effective attacks on a password (phrase)
is to use a dictionary to test all possible words or word combinations.
Some more sophisticated programs can even use grammatical rules to look for
meaningful sentences. There exist some very comprehensive dictionaries for
password cracking, some of which even contain common incorrect spellings.
This is why it's best to try to make your pass phrase look like nonsense.
______________________________________________________________________________
How long should my pass phrase be?
----------------------------------
That depends on a number of factors, such as how easy it is supposed to be
to remember, how secure it is supposed to be, and how 'random' it looks.
The occurrence of any special characters (non-alphabetic), nonsense words
or other meaningless collections of characters will greatly increase the
security of your pass phrase. But even if you use only real words from a
dictionary as large as the one included in !RNDpass, a pass phrase
consisting of 6 or more random words is likely to be unbreakable by any
serious attacker (even if the attacker knows which dictionary you used),
because of the huge number of possible combinations to try. However, you
should still try to avoid pass phrases which consist of only very short
words or which have a natural grammatical structure.
______________________________________________________________________________
Some additional tips.

More detailed advice about pass phrases, and some simple tips for creating
good ones, can be found in the accompanying document '!Tips'.
