Veilgen-Master: Building a Comprehensive CLI Tool for Fake Data Generation

Why Did I Need a New Tool?

Existing fake data generation tools didn’t fully meet my needs as a developer. Some were limited, others were complex or lacked flexibility. The main issues I faced:

1. Faker is great but limited to Python only.

2. No CLI tool supports advanced data like IMEI numbers and MAC addresses.

3. No tool provides instant encryption for generated data.

Veilgen-Master: The All-in-One Solution

To solve these issues, I built Veilgen-Master, an open-source CLI tool that provides:

Ease of Use – No coding required, just simple CLI commands.

Versatile Data Generation – Names, emails, phone numbers, credit cards, IMEI, MAC addresses, and more.

Built-in Encryption – Secure generated data for privacy duringtesting.

Cross-Platform Compatibility – Available on PyPI and AUR.

Practical Use Cases

Generate a Full Fake Identity

veilgen identity --full

Generates a name, address, phone number, email, birth date, and a fake ID number.

Generate 5 Random IMEI Numbers

veilgen imei --count 5

Perfect for mobile application testing.

Technical Challenges I Faced During Development

Building a Flexible CLI – Ensured commands were easy to understand but provided advanced control when needed.

Cross-Platform Compatibility – Tested the tool on Linux, macOS, and Windows to guarantee optimal performance.

Adding Encryption Support – Used the cryptography library to enable data encryption when needed.
