Password Generator

This is a password generator written in Common Lisp. It generates passwords in the "correct-battery-horse-staple" style.

Requirements

• SBCL (Steel Bank Common Lisp)
• Quicklisp
• UIOP (Utilities for Implementation- and OS- Portability)

Usage

Compile the program with SBCL:

sbcl --load password-generator.lisp
(sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die "battery-horse.exe" :executable t :toplevel 'main)

Then, you can run the compiled program with command-line arguments:

./battery-horse.bin -n <number to generate> -min <min-word-count> -max <max-word-count> [-d </path/to/dictionary>]
if opional -d is omitted it will use "/usr/share/dict/words"

Command-Line Arguments

• -n <number to generate>: The number of passwords to generate.
• -min <min-word-count>: The minimum length of the words to use in the passwords.
• -max <max-word-count>: The maximum length of the words to use in the passwords.
• -d </path/to/dictionary>: (Optional) The path to a dictionary file to use for the words in the passwords. If not provided, it will use the default dictionary at /usr/share/dict/words.
