Generate an XKCD #936 style 4 word password

So I use OSX and don't have the shuf command. This is what I could come up with.

This command assumes /usr/share/dict/words does not surpass 137,817,948 lines and line selection is NOT uniformly random.

Generate an XKCD #936 style 4 word password

If you do not have shuf or an -R option in sort, you can fall back on awk. This provides maximum portability IMO. The command first collects words from the dictionary that match the criteria - in this case: lower case words with no punctuation that are 4 to 8 characters long. It then prints 4 random entries. I decided to print each word on a separate line to improve readability.

Create a secure password using /dev/urandom and sha256

/dev/urandom relies on operator input to set the random seed. By itself, this may not contain enough random bits to produce high entropy output, especially if the system was recently restarted. Therefore, key stretching through a hash reduces the risk of using low-entropy output as a security key.

Create random password in reasonable time

It will produce passwords with length of 20 printable characters within a reasonable time.

For shorter or longer passwords just change the 20 in bs=20 to something more convenient.

To create only alpha numeric passwords change [:print:] to [:alnum:]
