genrandom - Generate Random Bytes

This is a Visual Studio Code extension, which generates random bytes and insert them on the current caret positions. It can generate random character sequence in four forms:

Features

BASE64

It generates 48 (by default) byte random byte sequence encoded in BASE64 (results in 64-characters).

BASE64URL

It generates 48 (by default) byte random byte sequence encoded in BASE64URL (results in 64-characters).

Hexadecimally encoded (HEX) bytes

It generates 32 (by default) byte random byte sequence in hexadecimal form.

Comma-Separated HEX bytes

It generates 32 (by default) byte random byte sequence, which is hexed and comma-separated.

Random Character Sequence

It generates 32 (by default) random character sequence. It is useful for generating cryptographically strong passwords.

The characters used by the function can be customized. See genrandom.randomChars.

Random Sequence using Selected Characters

It generates 32 random character sequence using the selected characters. If you select 0123456789abcdef, it will generate something like 348cc07350cb47cbee7230492d0c0e20.

Configurations

genrandom.randomChars

Characters used to generate random character sequence.

By default, the extension uses the following characters:

~!@#$%^&*()_-+=[]\\|;:'\",.<>/0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

genrandom.randomByteLengthBase64

The number of bytes to generate random byte sequence to be encoded by BASE64.

The default is 48.

Unlike genrandom.randomLength, it had better a multiple of 3 because BASE64 normally encodes 3 bytes into 4 chracters.

genrandom.randomLength

The number of characters to generate random sequence. The default is 32.
