How to random words ?

[arcker]

Hi evr1, i'm new to the forum.

I would like to use Auto it to manage Active Directory, instead of using WSH.

So, my first step is to create random passwords by default.

I've used the function #include <GuiConstants.au3>

chr(Random(Asc("A"), Asc("Z"), 1)

It works, but i want to random one entirely word, with random number of characters.

Thx for help !

not sure what you want....????

Maybe this

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

Dim $num, $x, $Pass, $Count_[13]

$num = Random(4, 12, 1)

for $x = 1 to $num
    $Count_[$x] = Chr(Random(65, 90, 1))
    $Pass = $Pass & $Count_[$x]
Next

MsgBox(0,"Random Password", $Pass & "   " )

8)

or maybe this

#include <GuiConstants.au3>


HotKeySet("{F9}", "Get_pass")


While 1
    sleep(20)
WEnd

Func Get_pass()
Dim $num, $Pass

$num = Random(4, 12, 1)

If $num = 4 Then $Pass = "Dave"
If $num = 5 Then $Pass = "Frank"
If $num = 6 Then $Pass = "Sammys"
If $num = 7 Then $Pass = "Melissa"
If $num = 8 Then $Pass = "Kurtland"
If $num = 9 Then $Pass = "Who knows"
If $num = 10 Then $Pass = "Who Cares"
If $num = 11 Then $Pass = "OK I'm deparate"
If $num = 12 Then $Pass = "Yea... Finally Done"


MsgBox(0,"Random Password", $Pass & "   " )
EndFunc

8)

You could easily expand this to include certain symbols, which will improve your chances against a brute force attack.

Local $NewPW = "", $Charset
  
  For $x = 1 To Random(8, 16, 1); 8 to 16 characters
      
      $Charset = Random(0, 2, 1); Randomize Alphanumeric
      Select
          Case $Charset = 0
              $NewPW = $NewPW & Chr(Random(Asc("A"), Asc("Z"), 1))
          Case $Charset = 1
              $NewPW = $NewPW & Chr(Random(Asc("0"), Asc("9"), 1))
          Case Else
              $NewPW = $NewPW & Chr(Random(Asc("a"), Asc("z"), 1))
      EndSelect
  Next
  MsgBox(0, "New Password", $NewPW)

Apparently I can't upload 181KB zip file, so I'll give you a link.

Anyways, haxial.com has had this neat program that will generate random passwords that are actually pronounceable, a great feature that makes passwords easier to remember, yet remain secure (they have no personal meaning to the user). Maybe you can interface it with Autoit to randomly choose a line from 5 or 20 or 100 lines of passwords

thx a lot for the solution skruge ! and thx @ all ! I will continue my script to manage AD (a lot of work)

Local $NewPW = "", $Charset

For $x = 1 To Random(8, 16, 1); 8 to 16 characters

$Charset = Random(0, 2, 1); Randomize Alphanumeric

Select

Case $Charset = 0

$NewPW = $NewPW & Chr(Random(Asc("A"), Asc("Z"), 1))

Case $Charset = 1

$NewPW = $NewPW & Chr(Random(Asc("0"), Asc("9"), 1))

Case Else

$NewPW = $NewPW & Chr(Random(Asc("a"), Asc("z"), 1))

EndSelect

Next

MsgBox(0, "New Password", $NewPW)

Autoit powaaaaa
