This commit includes detailed Go install instructions for the apg-go project into the README.md. The instructions verify Go version, describe the installation of the latest version and retrieval of a specific version, and also details on how to execute apg-go. This additional information allows users with Go installed in their systems to easily use and test the apg-go project.
This commit replaces all instances of apg with apg-go in the examples of the README.md file, making them consistent and accurate. Additionally, a new feature for mobile-friendly character grouping has been hooked in. This feature improves user experience, especially for mobile users, by organising the generated passwords in a "keypad-order" grouping.
The OpenSSF Best Practices badge has been included in the README.md file to demonstrate the adherence of this project to the best practices set by the Open Source Security Foundation.
The version number has been corrected to 1.1.0 from 1.0.1. This change was made in both the README.md file and the apg.go file. This update reflects the new algorithm for binary secrets introduction in version 1.1.0 instead of version 1.0.1.
This commit updates the password generator to now include a binary mode. This mode produces a 256 bits long fully binary secret which can be used for AES-256 encryption. New flags `-bh` (print hex representation) and `-bn` (new line after secret) have been added for this mode. The version has also been updated to 1.0.1 recognizing this new addition.
This commit introduces a new "Examples" section in the README.md to illustrate usage, ranging from website login password, PIN generation, to phone verification. In addition, it includes a new file under the example-code directory for a PIN generator using apg-go.
This commit rectifies a couple of typographic errors in the README.md file. Notably, there was a typo 'abondoning' which has been corrected to 'abandoning' and, it tidies up punctuation within the sentences. The main focus was to ensure readability and clarity of the documentation.
Corrected all the occurrences of the word 'pronouncable' to correct spelling 'pronounceable' across the README file. Also fixed a small typo 'apt-go', replaced it with the correct term 'apg-go'. The changes ensure correct spelling and consistent terminology in the README document.
The README file has been updated with thorough installation instructions. Changes range from introducing binary and package releases, including their verification using GPG signature, to refactoring the source code installation steps. Additionally, instructions for specific platforms like FreeBSD, Arch Linux, Debian/Redhat/Alpine, etc., have been improved for clarity.
The version number in several instances in the README file and apg.go has been modified from v2.0.0 to v1.0.0. This more accurately reflects the version where the changes were implemented and ensures consistency across all documentation.
Updated the "Winni Neessen" Software signing key contact details in the README file for better readability and neatness. This conveys the same information but in a more compressed, comprehensible manner.
Updated the README file to document new features added in the codebase: codecov badge, pre-built package usage, fixed-length password flag usage, coinflip mode, and the minimum required characters. The goreleaser configuration (`.goreleaser.yaml`) was cleaned up, removing unnecessary sections for docker usage. This clarifies how to execute certain functionalities and makes the goreleaser configuration easier to read and maintain.
Project URLs have been changed in several files from "src.neessen.cloud/wneessen/apg-go" to "github.com/wneessen/apg-go". In addition, Dockerfile has been significantly refactored. It now includes steps for tidy and verify of Go modules and builds a statically linked binary. Several metadata files have been added with copyright information.
This commit introduces two new badges to the README file. The first badge directs users to the project's Discord server, promoting community contributions. The second badge verifies that the project complies with REUSE software recommendations, ensuring users of the project's commitment to best practices in software development.
This commit updates the existing badge references on the README.md file. The previous badge links were pointing to GitHub locations, these are being changed to point to 'src.neessen.cloud', potentially reflecting a move away from GitHub.
This commit introduces the .gitignore configuration file and adds SPDX headers to several files including test and documentation files. The headers provide license information in a standardized format which can be easily picked up by automated tools for license compliance checks. Additionally, it deleted a .idea/.gitignore file, which is a project specific IDE configuration file not necessary for the repository. It also introduced a README.md file providing more insightful information about the project.
To address issue #13, the password length behaviour of the
original APG has been reproduced. Previously, when a minLength
of 5 and a maxLength of 10 was given, apg-go se the pwLength to
the preferred maxLength.
With v0.3.1 it will choose a random length between minLength and
maxLength instead, same as the original C-lang apg did. For this
the minLength has been defaulted to a sane value of 12 (instead
of the 8 of the original apg). The default for maxLength stayed
at 20.
Also the default number of generated passwords has been changed
from 1 to 6, to replicate the behaviour of the original apg.
