I just finished writing code for a small password generator terminal application (called Peewee Generator, or PeeweeGen) that uses “/dev/random” to generate three possible password choices based on criteria set by the user. It’s not very fancy or complicated, but I like how it turned out.

Download the .zip and extract it to a directory. Open up a terminal and type:

cd "FILE_DIRECTORY_NAME" && ./peewee

For convenience, you can create a launcher on your desktop the following as the command:

FILE_DIRECTORY_NAME/peewee

Peewee Generator

Update: Version 0.2 is released on Monday, May 24, 2010. You can download it here.
