Generate 32 Random Characters

Generate 32 random characters

OpenSSL

openssl rand -hex 32

pwgen

pwgen 32 1

/dev/urandom

hexdump -vn32 -e'4/8 "%08X" 1 "\n"' /dev/urandom

• -v to print all data (by default hexdump replaces repetition by *).
• -n16 to consume 16 bytes of input (32 hex digits = 16 bytes).
• 4/8 "%08X" to iterate four times, consume 8 bytes per iteration and print the corresponding 64 bits value as 16 hex digits, with leading zeros, if needed.
• 1 "\n" to end with a single newline.
