Generate a random string using the console

By Andres Jaimes

Generate a random string using the command line:

cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd [:graph:] | head -c 32

On OSX, the previous command might return a tr: Illegal byte sequence error, so try:

export LC_ALL=C; cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd [:graph:] | head -c 32
