Cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generator

This is a tool to generate cryptographically strong random numbers suitable for managing data such as passwords, account authentication, security tokens, and related secrets.

All available features were creates based upon python secrets module as pseudo-random number generator. The purposes for this tool were meant to cover most common use cases like need to generate multiple random hash value or taken for specific purposes with a single tool.

Features

• bytes: Generate a random byte string containing nbytes number of bytes.
• XKCD: Generate an XKCD-style passphrase based upon a simple american dict compressed file.
• hex: Generate a random text string, in hexadecimal.
• urlsafe: Generate a random URL-safe text string, containing nbytes random bytes. The text is Base64 encoded, so on average each byte results in approximately 1.3 characters.
• passwd: Generate a random alphanumeric string with special symbol characters without whitespace.
