About:
Diceware is a command-line tool for generating secure passphrases using the Diceware method, which combines dice rolls with a word list. It creates memorable yet cryptographically strong passwords suitable for encryption keys and authentication. The tool supports custom wordlists and various configuration options for enhanced security.
Key Features:
  • Generates cryptographically secure passphrases using the Diceware algorithm
  • Supports custom wordlists and multiple languages
  • Configurable passphrase length and word count
  • Python-based implementation with simple CLI interface
Use Cases:
