Well, I imagine you could build up a dictionary of words/phrases, then
randomly join between x and y number of those words, then just run it
through a converter to change it into l33tsp34k. I'm sure you could find
some dictionary files to read in, to save some time. Note that these are
likely dictionaries used by dictionary attack password crackers, so, uh,
you know.
Still, I don't use particularly strong passwords and I've only ever run
into a problem when 2 accounts on a machine had passwords that were the
inverse of each other, and often had remote logins. Like, say, root was
zxcvb and fex was bvcxz. This exposes yourself to all kinds of advanced
packet sniffing and character deduction routines. Even so, my passwords
now are more often than not nonsense words with some l33t garbage. Like
f3x0n14, which would make sense to me, but isn't likely to be in a
dictionary.
YMMV.
Good luck,
Fargo
