- apg: Automated Password Generator - Standalone version
APG (Automated Password Generator) is the tool set for random
password generation. It generates some random words of required type
and prints them to standard output. This binary package contains only
the standalone version of apg.
Advantages:
* Built-in ANSI X9.17 RNG (Random Number Generator)(CAST/SHA1)
* Built-in password quality checking system (now it has support for Bloom
filter for faster access)
* Two Password Generation Algorithms:
1. Pronounceable Password Generation Algorithm (according to NIST
FIPS 181)
2. Random Character Password Generation Algorithm with 35
configurable modes of operation
* Configurable password length parameters
* Configurable amount of generated passwords
* Ability to initialize RNG with user string
* Support for /dev/random
* Ability to crypt() generated passwords and print them as additional output.
* Special parameters to use APG in script
* Ability to log password generation requests for network version
* Ability to control APG service access using tcpd
* Ability to use password generation service from any type of box (Mac,
WinXX, etc.) that connected to network
* Ability to enforce remote users to use only allowed type of password
generation
The client/server version of apg has been deliberately omitted.
.
Please note that there are security flaws in pronounceable
password generation schemes (see Ganesan / Davis "A New Attack on
Random Pronounceable Password Generators", in "Proceedings of the 17th
National Computer Security Conference (NCSC), Oct. 11-14, 1994
(Volume 1)", http://csrc.nist. gov/publication s/history/ nissc/
1994-17th-NCSC-proceeding s-vol-1. pdf, pages 203-216)
.
Also note that the FIPS 181 standard from 1993 has been withdrawn by NIST in
2015 with no superseding publication. This means that the document is
considered by its publicher as obsolete and not been updated to reference
current or revised voluntary industry standards, federal specifications, or
federal data standards.
.
apg has not seen upstream attention since 2003, upstream is not answering
e-mail, and the upstream web page (http://www.adel. nursat. kz/apg/) has been
gone for years. The Debian maintainer plans to discontinue apg maintenance as
soon as an actually maintained software with a comparable feature set becomes
available.
