if you want a program that generates random passwords you will be glad to know that there is one built right into tails called md5sum use this command: echo "ewiftireutufeyhteru7htreiuhtwemuhftslkdfnmkslgftmdjkltfngkjbdskfhjvngmxngmjfldrfskjndj" | md5sum and it will print out a more condensed visually appealing string that has the entropy of your input string contained within it (up to 128 bits) and evenly distributed through out it. The more randomly you pound on the keyboard, the more random the resulting password will be.
