The Go version specified in the go.mod file has been downgraded from 1.22 to 1.21. This is to ensure compatibility with the project's specified dependencies.
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 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.
Implemented HIBP password check feature which will crosscheck generated passwords with the HIBP pwned passwords database. This functionality enhances security by not recommending potentially compromised passwords. A new flag, CheckHIBP has been added to enable or disable this feature.
The go.mod file was updated to reflect a new module path and an upgrade in Go version. The module path is now set to src.neessen.cloud/wneessen/apg-go, and the Go version has been updated to 1.22.
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.
