# diceware-v6
NEXT generation diceware password generator - randomness guaranteed!!!

[XKCD](https://xkcd.com/936/) nailed it....

![](http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/password_strength.png)

####WTF is this???
Diceware is a popular and fun way of generating military grade passwords that are **money-back-guaranteed** to be random!!! Most diceware password lists only provide 7776 words of which many are short or contain special, hard to remember characters (yikes). `diceware-v6` brings a revolution by introducing the extended **46656** word-list with words up to 10 characters long. This makes the passwords generated using it more secure and simpler to remember.

####How to generate a secure random password

Diceware is very easy to use. All you need is a die. It can help to get hold of 6 dice in order to speed up the RNG (1 die runs out of entropy very quickly).

1. Download and verify the signed diceware file from [`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zpiman/diceware-v6/master/diceware-v6.txt.asc`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zpiman/diceware-v6/master/diceware-v6.txt.asc) - *You can also download the 6pg PDF and print it out in font-size 2*
2. Roll the die 6 times and record numbers eg. `131512` - *alternatively you can roll 6 dice at once*
3. Look up the word corresponding to the number in the diceware file.
4. This is the first word of your password eg.`131512 awesome`
5. Repeat the steps 2-4 until you have a password of the desired length. 6 or more words are going to provide a better-than-good password. Check the section below for information on security.
6. Remember the password well and securely discard any paper which you use to write this password down. I prefer tearing the paper to bits and then burning them one by one. The ash I dissolve in hydrochloric acid. I strongly dilute the solution with water and use it to water my garden.

#####Alternatively
You can also run this command in your shell. However this method is ***not very secure!!!!***
```bash
$ cd scripts
$ ./dice.py
```

####Example

Make 7x6 rolls
* `311162` - fitness
* `512331` - pronoun
* `143332` - blunts
* `642514` - tyrannic
* `521512` - ravage
* `653245` - venomously
* `624613` - tasted

**Password:** `"fitness pronoun blunts tyrannic ravage venomously tasted"`
####Security

46656 words might seam like a very small number to be considered secure. However the power of diceware comes from the number of consecutive words. There are 46656 ways to choose 1 word, however 2176782336 ways to choose 2 words. The more words are added, the more ways to arrange them and thus the more secure the password. 6-7 words are a very good compromise between security and simplicity of memorization.

#####This table shows the security of different password lengths. Anything in *bold* is imo overkill....
