The SHA-1 hash doesn't match the one in the Readme doc. The hash that I get is fa19722348e9e0603f24c0ef9fc715010403bcfa

Thanks,

Jack, that's the same hash I'm getting. Steve, is this the right file?

I get the same hash. It's the latest version of the tool from Jesper. I'll follow up with him to see what changes he made after we wrote the appendix for 1.1.

Yes, Jesper made some changes, that's why the hash you see is different than the one in the readme. The .exe also has a digital signature, too. I'll update the blog posting to reflect the changes.

My favorite passgen is a random kick on keyboard :). Please add Visual Interface to the program if you have some spare time.

Yeah, but what if you ever need to retrieve the password for some reason? ... I doubt Jesper will make further modifications to the tool, he's very much a command-line junkie :)

How secure is the transmission of the new password, when setting it for a remote machine (passgen -s * -c username -m computername)? I see that it’s not transmitted in clear text, but am curious as to the likelihood of someone who successfully captured the traffic eventually decrypting it.

Thanks for a great tool.
