opensslGenerate secure random strings, passwords, and cryptographic tokens using OpenSSL. Use when creating passwords, API keys, secrets, or any secure random data.
Install via ClawdBot CLI:
clawdbot install Asleep123/opensslGenerate cryptographically secure random data using openssl rand.
# 32 random bytes as base64 (43 chars, URL-safe with tr)
openssl rand -base64 32 | tr '+/' '-_' | tr -d '='
# 24 random bytes as hex (48 chars)
openssl rand -hex 24
# alphanumeric password (32 chars)
openssl rand -base64 48 | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | head -c 32| Use Case | Command |
|----------|---------|
| Password (strong) | openssl rand -base64 24 |
| API key | openssl rand -hex 32 |
| Session token | openssl rand -base64 48 |
| Short PIN (8 digits) | openssl rand -hex 4 | xxd -r -p | od -An -tu4 | tr -d ' ' | head -c 8 |
