NukeCops - Electric Dice 0.8 released

MilSim.net released a major update to Electric Dice - a must have tool for all serious PHP-Nuke administrators. Electric Dice evolved from a simple PHP-Nuke site key generator into a multi-function password generator, MD5/SHA digest calculator and base64 string converter. Electric Dice is unique as it generates true random strings and numbers based not on pseudo-random algorithms (as used by PHP), but real life random sources (atmospheric noise or human input).

Introduction PHP-Nuke site key is an important but often overlooked security feature. It is used in generating security codes for authentication and resource access (e.g. security codes) purposes. Each installation of PHP-Nuke system requires choosing a unique site key, and this is where Electric Dice steps in - it helps you generate true random site keys that can be easily pasted into the config.php file. Moreover, you can use Electric Dice to create new random passwords for your users and matching MD5 hashes for insertion in the database (e.g. using phpMyAdmin). Download This software is offered completely free to PHP-Nuke users community. Both Windows GUI and command line Linux versions are available - you can download Electric Dice from Mil-Sim website (free registration required). You may need to install Microsoft .NET Framework (Windows GUI version) or Mono (UNIX CLI) which is necessary for Electric Dice to run. New features
