PyPOTD CLI

Description

Using the pypotd library, pypotd-cli is a command-line tool to generate single or multiple ARRIS/CommScope-compatible password-of-the-day strings using a default or custom seed. Output defaults to JSON. Output can be written to a file, and will not output to console unless also provided with the verbose flag.

Installation

pip install pypotd-cli

Usage

usage: python -m pypotd-cli [-d DATE] [-D] [-f {json,text}] [-h] [-o OUT_FILE] [-r START END] [-s SEED] [-v]

Password-of-the-Day Generator for ARRIS/CommScope Devices

options:
  -d DATE, --date DATE                  generate a password for the given date
  -D, --des                             output des representation of seed
  -f {json,text}, --format {json,text}  password output format, either text or json
  -h, --help                            show this help message and exit
  -o OUT_FILE, --out-file OUT_FILE      password or list will be written to given filename
  -r START END, --range START END       generate a list of passwords given start and end dates
  -s SEED, --seed SEED                  string of 4-8 characters, used in password generation to mutate output
  -v, --verbose                         print output to console even when writing to file

If your seed uses special characters, you must surround it with quotes

Examples

Print password for current day using custom seed

$ python -m pypotd-cli -s test
{
  "09/27/23": "FP8992KBS5"
}

Print DES for a custom seed

$ python -m pypotd-cli -s test -D
{
  "DES": "CD.7D.DE.86.D7.04.4A.85"
}

Write a list of passwords to a file and print to console

$ python -m pypotd-cli -s test -r 2023-09-27 2023-09-30 -o range.json -v
{
  "09/27/23": "FP8992KBS5",
  "09/28/23": "JUSHXQ2S9O",
  "09/29/23": "9OTOUA0UI3",
  "09/30/23": "EDU83VUHE5"
}

$ cat ./range.json
{
  "09/27/23": "FP8992KBS5",
  "09/28/23": "JUSHXQ2S9O",
  "09/29/23": "9OTOUA0UI3",
  "09/30/23": "EDU83VUHE5"
}

Previous example, but with formatted text output

$ python -m pypotd-cli -s test -r 2023-09-27 2023-09-30 -o range.txt -v -f text
09/27/23: FP8992KBS5
09/28/23: JUSHXQ2S9O
09/29/23: 9OTOUA0UI3
09/30/23: EDU83VUHE5

$ cat ./range.txt
09/27/23: FP8992KBS5
09/28/23: JUSHXQ2S9O
09/29/23: 9OTOUA0UI3
09/30/23: EDU83VUHE5
