Random Password Generator Expert is a full-featured and powerful, yet small and handy application able to generate passwords of any length and character content. The program may be used by network administrators, webmasters, internet service providers - all those who need to create and administer password protected systems. This application allows a security conscious network administrator or developer the choice of generating random passwords up to 80 characters in length and in any combination of four character types: upper- and lowercase letters, numeric characters and special characters (such as #, ^, & etc. - the set of characters is customizable, you may specify which characters you want to use).

Nowadays information has become the most valuable possession. The value of information stored on your computer or network can overwhelmlingly exceed the cost of hardware. As a consequence hundreds and thousands of malicious and mischievous people are trying to break into your system.

If you are working with Windows-based systems, security problems can be a serious concern to you. Everybody knows where these systems store encrypted data and encrypting algorithms are well known too. And surprisingly many people still use their pets' names or something of that kind as system passwords. So, the only thing a hacker needs to do is steal the hashed password and start a dictionary attack. A dictionary attack is a technique to attempt a break-in by trying every word in a dictionary as a password. Given an encrypted password and knowledge of the encryption hashing algorithm, the dictionary attack program encrypts each word or combination of characters in a dictionary and compares its encrypted value with the encrypted password until it finds a match or runs out of words in the dictionary. Since good dictionary attack programs use massive dictionaries with millions of words, chances are in a few hours (or even minutes) the password will be broken.

That's why security experts recommend using "strong" passwords - long passwords of random upper and lower case letters sprinkled with liberal doses of "!@#$%^&*()" characters to defend against these attacks. Such passwords significantly decrease the probability that a dictionary attack program will find a match. Enough to say that a brute force attack (this is a method of breaking by trying every possible combination of characters) on a 10 characters password would take about 45 years assuming you can analyze 10,000 passwords per second.

But even if you are using figures and special characters in your passwords, chances are they still are rather easy to break. The problem is that passwords created by people tend to be "reasonable", i.e. they correspond to certain subconscious logics, which you are not aware of. For example a password starting with "p" is much more probable than the one with "k", the probability to come across "y" in the final position is equal to 0,12 etc. At last characters on keyboard are placed in certain order and this also counts when you create a password! Thus a program using "smart force" method based on linguistics, psychology and ergonomics factors won't need much more time to break a "random" human-created password than it would spend in case of a dictionary attack.

Random Password Generator Expert provides an antidote to all those malicious tools. This program creates truly random "strong" passwords, which are not influenced by any human factors. Thus the only way it leaves to a hacker is spend years trying to break your password by brute force.

The program also employs unique proprietary algorithms to analyze pronounceableness of strong passwords, enabling you to create character combinations that are easier to pronounce and, as a consequence - to memorize. This does not weaken the defense, as these passwords still remain random combinations of characters not found in any dictionary.
