**Secure String Generator**
|
|
|
|
A minimal, blazing-fast Rust command-line tool for generating secure random strings with the tiniest possible footprint. Perfect for standalone use or integration into other applications.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Uses operating system entropy (`OsRng`) for cryptographically secure randomness
|
|
- Flexible selection of character sets, including alphabets, numbers, symbols, and more
|
|
- Very small binary size
|
|
- Minimal dependencies
|
|
|
|
## About
|
|
|
|
I created `rs-random` to have a super simple, minimal way to generate secure strings that I could build into other applications, ensuring security, speed, and a tiny footprint.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
