Miscelaneous cryptographic and RNG-based applications

This repository contains miscelaneous stuff that I've compiled from concepts of randomness and pseudorandomness. Call it a study if you wish, but I believe they might be good for something, such as for pseudonyms and generation of passwords.

List of software in this repository

  • namegen: a random name generator using the Unix words file to assemble a person's name. Could be used to create a plausible, but nontraceable, pseudonym.
  • xkcd-passgen: a password generator to the manner of this xkcd comic. Strings together four or more random words to build passphrases.
  • blabbermouth: a text obfuscator. Inserts random words from the dictionary file into a body of text, and removes them later in deobfuscation.
  • quickencrypt: take GnuPG to the graphical world! This simple script will make encrypting text as easy as a few mouse clicks!
  • view-youtube: stream YouTube videos anonymously using Tor and mpv! This script will make up for the lack of free javascript to watch YouTube.

Installers for graphical applications

quickencrypt and view-youtube now contain both .desktop files for easily launching them without having to reach for the terminal. To "install" them, first copy them somewhere in your executable path, like:

cp quickencrypt /usr/local/bin/

If you're using Xfce, then drag the .desktop file to one of your panels; the launcher will be created automatically. Otherwise, copy it to your applications directory:

cp quickencrypt.desktop /usr/share/applications/
