function Get-ReadablePassphrase { <# .SYNOPSIS Generates readable passphrases suitable for passwords .DESCRIPTION Describe the function in more detail .EXAMPLE Get-ReadablePassphrase Generates a readable passphrase with the default settings. .EXAMPLE Get-ReadablePassphrase -AlternateDefault Generates a readable passphrase with the alternate default settings. Generates more readable, but *slightly* less secure passwords. .PARAMETER Count Optional. Default=1. The number of passwords to generate .PARAMETER MinLength Optional. Default=1. The minimum length of the password. .PARAMETER MaxLength Optional. Default=999. The maximum length of the password. .PARAMETER Strength Optional. Default=Random. Valid Values: 'Random', 'RandomShort', 'RandomLong', 'RandomForever', 'Normal', 'NormalAnd', 'NormalEqual', 'NormalEqualAnd', 'NormalEqualSpeech', 'NormalRequired', 'NormalRequiredAnd', 'NormalRequiredSpeech', 'NormalSpeech', 'Strong', 'StrongAnd', 'StrongEqual', 'StrongEqualAnd', 'StrongEqualSpeech', 'StrongRequired', 'StrongRequiredAnd', 'StrongRequiredSpeech', 'StrongSpeech', 'Insane', 'InsaneAnd', 'InsaneEqual', 'InsaneEqualAnd', 'InsaneEqualSpeech', 'InsaneRequired', 'InsaneRequiredAnd', 'InsaneRequiredSpeech', 'InsaneSpeech', 'Custom' .PARAMETER wordSeparator Optional. Default=' '. Default word separator. Can be empty .PARAMETER AnyLength Optional. Default=0. Used to indicate a non-gramatic, totally random selection of word forms .PARAMETER phraseString Optional. Default=$null. .PARAMETER mutStandard Optional. Default=$false. .PARAMETER mutAlternate Optional. Default=$false. .PARAMETER mutUpper Optional. Default=Never. Valid Values: 'Never', 'StartOfWord', 'Anywhere', 'RunOfLetters', 'WholeWord' .PARAMETER mutUpperCount Optional. Default=2. .PARAMETER mutNumeric Optional. Default=Never. Valid Values: 'Never', 'StartOfWord', 'EndOfWord', 'StartOrEndOfWord', 'Anywhere', 'EndOfPhrase' .PARAMETER mutNumericCount Optional. Default=2. .PARAMETER DictionaryPath Optional. Default=Internal dictionary. Use this to specify an alternate dictionary. .PARAMETER AlternateDefault Optional. Switch. use an alternate default configuration that is *slightly* less secure, but more readable. .PARAMETER AsSecureString Optional. Switch. Returns the password as a securestring rather than plain text. #> [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $False, ConfirmImpact = 'Low')] param ( [Parameter()] [int]$Count = 1, [Parameter()] [int]$MinLength = 1, [Parameter()] [int]$MaxLength = 999, [Parameter()] [ValidateSet('Random', 'RandomShort', 'RandomLong', 'RandomForever', 'Normal', 'NormalAnd', 'NormalEqual', 'NormalEqualAnd', 'NormalEqualSpeech', 'NormalRequired', 'NormalRequiredAnd', 'NormalRequiredSpeech', 'NormalSpeech', 'Strong', 'StrongAnd', 'StrongEqual', 'StrongEqualAnd', 'StrongEqualSpeech', 'StrongRequired', 'StrongRequiredAnd', 'StrongRequiredSpeech', 'StrongSpeech', 'Insane', 'InsaneAnd', 'InsaneEqual', 'InsaneEqualAnd', 'InsaneEqualSpeech', 'InsaneRequired', 'InsaneRequiredAnd', 'InsaneRequiredSpeech', 'InsaneSpeech', 'Custom')] [string]$Strength = 'Random', [Parameter()] [string]$wordSeparator = ' ', [Parameter()] #Used to indicate a non-gramatic, totally random selection of word forms [int]$anyLength = 0, [Parameter()] [string]$phraseString = $null, [Parameter()] [switch]$mutStandard = $false, [Parameter()] [switch]$mutAlternate = $false, [Parameter()] [ValidateSet('Never', 'StartOfWord', 'Anywhere', 'RunOfLetters', 'WholeWord')] [string]$mutUpper = 'Never', [Parameter()] [int]$mutUpperCount = 2, [Parameter()] [ValidateSet('Never', 'StartOfWord', 'EndOfWord', 'StartOrEndOfWord', 'Anywhere', 'EndOfPhrase')] [string]$mutNumeric = 'Never', [Parameter()] [int]$mutNumericCount = 2, [Parameter()] [ValidateScript( { (Test-Path $_) })] #must return $true/$false [string]$DictionaryPath, [Parameter()] [switch]$AlternateDefault, [Parameter()] [switch]$AsSecureString ) begin { #do pre script checks, etc function genNonGrammaticalClause($count) { Write-Verbose "Generating Non-Grammatical Phrase Description of $count words" $wordset = @() (1..$count) | ForEach-Object { $wordset += ([MurrayGrant.ReadablePassphrase.PhraseDescription.AnyWordClause]::new()) } return $wordset } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.containskey("DictionaryPath")) { $dictionarypath = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Module.PrivateData['defaultdictionary'] } } process { if ($AlternateDefault) { Write-Verbose "Setting Alternate Defaults" if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("Count")) { $Count = 5 } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("MinLength")) { $MinLength = 20 } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("MaxLength")) { $MaxLength = 30 } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("Strength")) { $Strength = "Custom" } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("WordSeparator")) { $wordSeparator = "" } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("anyLength")) { $anyLength = 0 } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("mutStandard")) { $mutStandard = $false } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("mutAlternate")) { $mutAlternate = $false } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("mutUpper")) { $mutUpper = "StartOfWord" } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("mutUpperCount")) { $mutUpperCount = 50 } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("mutNumeric")) { $mutNumeric = "Never" } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("mutNumericCount")) { $mutNumericCount = 0 } if (-not $PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey("PhraseString")) { $phraseString = "Noun = { Adjective->1, NoAdjective->1, NoArticle->5, DefiniteArticle->4, IndefiniteArticle->4, Demonstrative->0, PersonalPronoun->2, ProperNoun->1, CommonNoun->12, AdjectiveNoun->2, Number->1, NoNumber->5, Plural->0, Single->1, Preposition->0, NoPreposition->1, } Verb = { Adverb->1, NoAdverb->1, Interrogative->1, NoInterrogative->8, IntransitiveByNoNoun->0, IntransitiveByPreposition->0, Present->10, Past->8, Future->8, ContinuousPast->0, Continuous->0, Perfect->0, Subjunctive->0, } Noun = { Adjective->1, NoAdjective->1, NoArticle->5, DefiniteArticle->4, IndefiniteArticle->4, Demonstrative->0, PersonalPronoun->2, ProperNoun->0, CommonNoun->1, AdjectiveNoun->0, Number->1, NoNumber->0, Plural->1, Single->0, Preposition->0, NoPreposition->1, }" } } $objStrength = [MurrayGrant.ReadablePassphrase.PhraseStrength]::$strength $useCustomLoader = $false $loaderDll = "" $loaderType = "" $loaderArguments = "" $customPhrasePath = "" $query = $false $objNumericMutator = [MurrayGrant.ReadablePassphrase.Mutators.NumericStyles]::$mutNumeric $objUpperMutator = [MurrayGrant.ReadablePassphrase.Mutators.AllUppercaseStyles]::$mutUpper $phraseDescription = [MurrayGrant.ReadablePassphrase.PhraseDescription.Clause]::CreatePhraseDescription if ($phraseString -ne "" -and $phraseString -ne $null) { $phraseDescription = [MurrayGrant.ReadablePassphrase.PhraseDescription.Clause]::CreateCollectionFromTextString($phraseString) } $maxAttemptsPerCount = 1000 Write-Verbose "Intializing Database" $generator = New-Object MurrayGrant.ReadablePassphrase.ReadablePassphraseGenerator $loaderT = New-Object MurrayGrant.ReadablePassphrase.Dictionaries.ExplicitXmlDictionaryLoader $loader = ([MurrayGrant.ReadablePassphrase.Dictionaries.IDictionaryLoader]) $loaderarguments = "url=$dictionarypath;
