Creating non-pronouncable passwords with APG
Number of passwords: 80
Length of passwords: 7-14 (8 groups of passwords)
Therefore, there are 10 passwords of each length.
To create the passwords:
./apg -a 1 -n 10 -m 7 -x 7 > apg07.txt
./apg -a 1 -n 10 -m 8 -x 8 > apg08.txt
./apg -a 1 -n 10 -m 9 -x 9 > apg09.txt
./apg -a 1 -n 10 -m 10 -x 10 > apg10.txt
./apg -a 1 -n 10 -m 11 -x 11 > apg11.txt
./apg -a 1 -n 10 -m 12 -x 12 > apg12.txt
./apg -a 1 -n 10 -m 13 -x 13 > apg13.txt
./apg -a 1 -n 10 -m 14 -x 14 > apg14.txt
Then:
cat apg0*.txt > apg-nonpron-passlist.txt
A bashfile was used to automate this task - see netsec01:/home/xian/apg-2.2.3/gen-nonpron-passlist.sh
