Generate Random Sequence (rand)

Random field generator

Description

rand can generate random numbers, strings and other data types.

Examples

Specifying data-type

Random integer (64-bit on 64-bit machines):

rand int

Detail

Security

WARNING: is should be noted that while rand can produce random numbers and strings which might be useful for password generation, neither the RNG nor the the random string generator (which is ostensibly the same RNG but applied to an array of bytes within the range of printable ASCII characters) are considered cryptographically secure.
