Randomly Generating Rcon password.

[lua]
function GenerateRconPass()
local KEYS = {
"a",
"b",

"0"
}

local str = "";

for i = 1, 1024 do

str = str .. KEYS[math.random( 1, KEYS )];

end

game.ConsoleCommand( "rcon_password " .. str );
end
concommand.Add( "GenerateNewRcon", GenerateRconPass )
[/lua]

Would this work? Is this efficient?

[lua]local function GenerateString( len )
local str = ""

for i=1, len do
str = str .. string.char( math.random( 33, 125 ) )
end

-- Filtering any bad characters
return str:gsub( "[;]", "" )
end

concommand.Add( "rcon_generate", function()
local str = GenerateString( 128 )
game.ConsoleCommand( "rcon_password " .. str .. "\n" )
end )[/lua]

Why would you ever need a password 1024 chars long?

Well he could use a module to bypass that or make an alias of rcon_password in his server.cfg

I don't see the point in changing rcon password tbh, when you can just not allow them not to use rcon.

alias what rcon_password

[lua]function GenPass()

local password = ""

for i = 1 , 100 do
password = password..string.char(math.random(65 , 117))
end

MsgN(password)
return password
end

RunConsoleCommand("what" , GenPass())[/lua]

this may can be used for rcon bruteforce, right ?

don't you get auto-banned after 5 tries or so ?

also password will break if they contain this ";"

only if the server.cfg contain something like

sv_rcon_banpenalty 1440
sv_rcon_maxfailures 5
