Security-by-Obscurity download

An advanced password generator written in C++ and designed to run within the terminal emulator of any *NIX compatible system. It is based on the work by Nintendo(r) European Reasearch and Development (NERD) and the "HireMe" challenge. I've taken the work of NERD a step further and used the input-confusion-diffusion paradigm in conjunction with SHA/256 encryption to generate randomized passwords that cannot be decoded (yet - quantum computers will change this eventually!) The software generates sufficiently random passwords to allow the same plaintext password to be used multiple times without generating the same output. There's probably no real reason to be developing this, but I wanted to use the NERD code in a new way and practice my C++ skills at the same time.
