Electric Dice 0.8 released |
|
 maciekp writes "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
- Added a new password, alphanumeric string, PHP-Nuke site key generator
- Added calculation of MD5, SHA1 and derived digests (e.g. SHA256) from generated
or user entered strings
- Added base64 string conversion
- Added offline mode enabling the generation of true random strings (passwords,
etc.) on local machine. Offline mode is now enabled by default, only PHP-Nuke
site keys can be generated using online generator service.
- Improved user interface
