Re: Where's a human-like randomizer?
I think you could generate truly random passwords first, then corrupt them into less random passwords with a few regex passes On Monday, September 22, 2014, Douglas Lucas d...@riseup.net wrote: I've an odd question. Is there a program that will generate passwords that imitate the badness with which humans armed with pen and paper only would generate randomness? No, not a program that spits out password over and over, that contemptible most frequently used password; I'm imagining an English speaker of above average intelligence who has some familiarity with best practices for coming up with passwords, but who's no mathematical crypto wizard or anything. Imagine a human who wants to generate an alphanumeric passphrase with both upper- and lowercase, and he's in a jail cell with just pen and paper. So he has a set of 62 characters to work with, and he tries to write out a truly random password. But maybe he puts M in the password too often for it to be truly random, because his name is Mario, so he thinks about M unusually often; or maybe his writing surface is shaped such that it incentivizes long downstrokes, so he pens the letter l too often for true randomness. Now, has anyone created a computer program to MIMIC what that human would come up with? Is such a thing possible? Obviously I could simply do it myself as a human being by, you know, qrMt8x3, but I want a program that will create that for an x-long, say, 80,000 character-long, string.

In those threads and links following from the above are people showing that these 'goldbug' related projects have serious trust issues and may be some form of malware/crapware. Read the linked threads for more info. If you search around wikipedia for these projects and look at their edit, talk and contributor histories you can find their edit trails there. Bogus listings is their way of free advertising and luring gullible users to them. I don't know much about how these things are handled within wikipedia community. But I have seen articles that have 'Controversy' sections in them. So if I were an editor I'd add exactly such a controversy section to all the pages... that some people see big issues with these projects. And back it up with links out to these threads on the cpunks, gnupg, and tor lists. At least that way it's on wikipedia history for people to see. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/GoldBug_(software) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:GoldBug_(software) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoldBug_(Instant_Messenger) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echo_(communications_protocol) Saw your arguments on the deletion page and figured you would like to be aware of these issues as well.
