NAME

       bin2pass - converts binary input to passwords

SYNOPSIS

              bin2pass [d|u|l] [<max size>] [<symbols>] <binary

DESCRIPTION

       bin2pass  reads  standard  input,  and accepts three optional parameters (note this is the
       same syntax as accepted by sphinx(1)):

       • a combination of the letters  “uld”  enabling  upper-,  lower-case  letters  and  digits
         respectively.  If this is not provided bin2pass defaults to “uld”.

       • a  number  setting  the  maximum length of the password to be converted to.  Note if you
         specify a larger number than is possible to generate from the input the output  will  be
         padded  by leading “A” characters.  The default is the longest possible output depending
         on the input

       • a string listing all the symbols allowed in the  password.   Any  of  the  following  is
         allowed (and this is also the default if not specified):

         | !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[\]^_`{}~

       Please  note that is allowed, and also be careful in quoting special characters that might
       be interpreted by your shell, such as ", !, \, etc...

EXAMPLES

       Generate the longest  possible  random  password  from  /dev/random,  with  the  resulting
       password  having  characters  from  digits,  lower-  and  upper-case letters and the and *
       symbols.

              dd if=/dev/random bs=1 count=30 | ./pwdsphinx/bin2pass.py " *"
