Password Generator

Use a UUID:

```shell rucksack gen --type uuid

New password: 229ef9b4-b95b-4d91-a6ac-f6b7ef1cfc47 Password score: 88.50 ```

Augmented UUID:

```shell rucksack gen --type uuid++

New password: 4C7360%E-4@60-4?03-b559-491C8A52E750 Password score: 100.00 ```

Random:

```shell rucksack gen --type random

New password: A&6YU?#xk.?) Password score: 91.22 ```

Lorem-ipsum inspired:

```shell rucksack gen --type lipsum

New password: Esse-maius-amicitia,-nihil.-]9^, Password score: 100.00 ```

Some systems can't handle special characters, so a flag is available for encoding with base64, with the generated encoding getting scored:

```shell rucksack gen --type lipsum --encode

New password: VmVydW0sLW9waW5vciwtc2NyaXB0b3JlbS10YW1lbi4tLjYrfQ Password score: 100.00 ```

Or how about a long random token, chock-a-block with tasty entropy?

```shell rucksack gen --type random --length 256 --encode

New password: VFdCQVM-MmVUUUNDTlEpbl4rLztrMlc0cHtMSjVodzs4OTRIK00kK2ZBc0dfcGpCe zlFIXouY19Hd1R-NSskLV1kXDMpTkQtX1EkcltUOFcyLDRQbmpobnJML1lxQmtDZjg0clhoPUg_JmVS Pz4pUDpGVjsseWZCPlx4JXtwZS1tekU4eUBHZGRhVlRwOi0oK1IsRHkzO0J0JSFOVSNbXSEsSDwjLFA ocjtCXT0-XFNYeHI0JkJQdEJ1X0E5YWZFa2Yhc0VSZnYvVyhROC45WF8kak05PWYzLk52UzQoPWQqc3 YlJHpqbS85UXhzKnI6ZlhAPWdRLmZxcVZWQXM4fg Password score: 100.00 ```

Importing and Exporting

Import login data from Firefox Sync:

shell rucksack import \ --db-pass abc123 \ --type firefox \ --file ~/Downloads/logins.csv

Logins may be exported to files that can then be used to import into browsers:

shell rucksack export \ --db-pass abc123 \ --type chrome \ --file /tmp/exported-logins.csv

For both importing and exporting, there are currently two supported types: firefox and chrome.

Adding and Updating via Command

To add a single record via the CLI:

shell rucksack add \ --url http://example.com \ --user shelly \ --password whyyyyyy

Note that --user and --url are required when adding a new record. A password is required, too: if one is not provided with --password, then you will be prompted:

shell rucksack add \ --url http://example.com \ --user shelly

shell Enter db password:

shell Enter password for record:

There are several types of changes to records that can't be made via an "update" subcommand due to how the data is used in the database. That did't leave too much data left for an "update" command, so the "record type" update was moved into the "set" group, too. The total list of set operations is:

As such, these have their own sub commands (under set), as well as their flags and logic.

Changing a password:

shell rucksack set password \ --url http://example.com \ --user shelly --password whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

If the password isn't provided, you will be prompted at the terminal:

shell Enter record password:

Changing a user:

shell rucksack set user \ --url http://example.com \ --old-user shelly --new-user clammy

Changing a URL:

shell rucksack set url \ --old-url http://example.com \ --new-url http://shelly.com \ --user clammy

Changing the record type:

shell rucksack set type \ --url http://example.com \ --user clammy --type password

Note that for all of this, should you want to pass the DB password, file, or salt, you will need to make sure those flags come after set but before the following subcommmand.

List Secrets

Show all secrets records:

shell rucksack list

shell Enter db password:

Show URLs, names, passwords, and password scores for all secrets:

shell rucksack list --decrypt

shell Enter db password:

In both cases a password may be passed with the --db-pass flag. By default, the salt is the value of the USER environment variable, but it may be overridden with the --salt flag.

Note that without --decrypt, only the user and URL are displayed. With --decrypt, those as well as masked password and password score are displayed. To unmask the password, one must also set --reveal.

The default database location depends upon operating system. To see the location for your system, you can run rucksack show db-file. To use another location, the --db flag is available.

The flags --db, --db-pass, and --salt may be set for any subcommand that access the database.

Search / Filter Secrets

Simple filtering is also possible (done using a flag with the list command, with or without sorting):

shell rucksack list \ --db-pass abc123 \ --filter exa \ --sort-by score \ --decrypt

```text URL | User / Record | Password | Strength -----------------------------------------+--------------------------------+----------------------+----------- https://www.bugworld.com | hexapod123 | ** | 93 https://accounts.cloud.com | hexapod@thing.systems | ** | 90 https://entymology.slack.com | 6pod@example.com | ** | 86 https://bugs.slack.com | Alice "Hexapod" Roberts | ** | 85 https://twitter.com | TheOtherHexapod | ** | 83 https://portal-hexapod.testing.app | alice@example.com | ** | 58 http://localhost:3000 | alice@example.com | ** | 30

7 records (of 7 total) ```

It is also possible to perform negative filtering using --exclude. Additionally, --include is provided as an alias for --filter.

You may sort on score (strength), user, or url. If not provided, url sorting is used. Also note that order-by is provided as an alias for sort-by.

Additional Searching

You may also limit results with the following:

The list of supported types may be shown with: rucksack show types and doesn't need access to the database to do so.

A full list of categories created by the user does need access to the database (so you will be prompted for a password if you don't use the --db-pass flag): rucksack show categories.

Same for user-created tags: rucksack show tags.

Grouping Results

By Password

For use in auditing, sites+user combinations that share the same password can be reported:

shell rucksack list \ --group-by db-pass \ --decrypt

```text +========================================================================

Password: ** (Score: 99) Records using: 5 Records:

URL | User / Record -----------------------------------------+------------------------------- https://smile.amazon.com | alice@example.com https://smile.amazon.com/ap/signin | alice@example.com https://www.amazon.com | alice@example.com https://www.amazon.com/ap/signin | alice@example.com https://mybank.com | alice@example.com

+========================================================================

Password: ** (Score: 86) Records using: 2 Records:

URL | User / Record -----------------------------------------+------------------------------- https://blurp.com | alice https://bleep.net | alice

2 groups (with 7 records out of 16 total) ```

By User

You may also group by user name (account name):

shell rucksack list \ --group-by user \ --decrypt

Debugging

If you need to see what version of the database file format your currently using:

shell rucksack show db-version

Note that this is not necessarily the version of rucksack you're running, rather it will correspond to the version of rucksack that was used when your secrets database was last updated.

Deletions

By default, accounts are not removed; instead, they are flagged as deleted. To delete an account entry:

shell rucksack rm \ --url http://example.com \ --user clammy

To see the list of records that have been deleted:

shell rucksack list deleted

All the same flags and filtering used with the list command are available with list deleted.
