c'est bien un générateur de mots de passe, mais qui génère des morts de passe faciles à mémoriser - on imagine donc bien que le même logiciel puisse être utilisé pour craquer des mots de passe, quand on lit la description:

"The innovation of this software is simple and genius. The passwords are derived from word phrases easy to remember. Often these phrases have a humorous touch facilitating the process of memorizing. The password list can be generated in 3 languages: English, German and Russian. Additionally ViPNet [Password Roulette] can generate random digital passwords. ViPNet [Password Roulette] generates a password phrase from which the password is compiled using parameters prior defined by the user. The password phrase, which can be generated in English, German and Russian (further languages planned), has the function of helping to memorize the password. The understanding of a password phrase is a grammatically correct sentence, which consists of words picked up from special dictionaries. These words have been randomly chosen by the random generator from special vocabularies. The number of words in a phrase can vary from three (subject, verb, object) to four (attribute, subject, verb, object). Furthermore it is possible to derive more complicated passwords by using two password phrases. The password is generated from the password phrase using the first letters of each word in the password phrase to compile the password. For example, a password, generated in English, using the first three letters of each word in the phrase, consisting of four words, would look as follows: Password - blilibabaath Password phrase - blind librarian abashes athlete (N=3, M=4) "

Merci FX !

agree  Jerome Carrette (X)

  -> thanks!

disagree  Daryo: wrong level of abstraction / generality: the ST is about breaking into systems – mentions the general concept of a "password roullette" (same as "backdoor" is a general concept, with hundreds of conceivable ways of implementation)
9 hrs
  -> I got that - it's just that trying to get into a system by trying to guess the password (roulette) is close to zero..
