This is a simplistic passphrase generator inspired by xkcd and hsxkpasswd.
It uses the ChaCha20Rng rng for safe random numbers and the bitcoin mnemonic word list in english from bip-0039.
If you want to build rust-passphrase by yourself you need rustc and cargo installed.
Clone into the repository
git clone [email protected]:nepet/rust-passphrase.git
cd rust-passphrase
and build the program with cargo:
cargo build --release
You can then move the program built in target/release to the bin files or add the path to the PATH environmental variable.
Alternatively this repo comes with a shell.nix file for the usage with nix-shell. This allowes for automatic installation of the required build tools.
