Random Time Script

[msatter]

Thank you.

I coded this and it seems to work

:local otp ([/certificate scep-server otp generate minutes-valid=0 as-value]->"password")
:local a
:local b
:local c
:local hour
:local min
:local sec
:local rndTime

:set $a [:pick "$otp" 0 1]
:set $b [:pick "$otp" 1 2]
:set $c [:pick "$otp" 2 3]
:set $hour (([:find "0123456789abcdef" "$a" -1] * 256 + [:find "0123456789abcdef" "$b" -1] * 16 + [:find "0123456789abcdef" "$c" -1]) % 24)

:set $a [:pick "$otp" 4 5]
:set $b [:pick "$otp" 5 6]
:set $c [:pick "$otp" 6 7]
:set $min (([:find "0123456789abcdef" "$a" -1] * 256 + [:find "0123456789abcdef" "$b" -1] * 16 + [:find "0123456789abcdef" "$c" -1]) % 60)

:set $a [:pick "$otp" 8 9]
:set $b [:pick "$otp" 9 10]
:set $c [:pick "$otp" 10 11]
:set $sec (([:find "0123456789abcdef" "$a" -1] * 256 + [:find "0123456789abcdef" "$b" -1] * 16 + [:find "0123456789abcdef" "$c" -1]) % 60)

:set rndTime ($hour . ":" . $min . ":" . $sec)
:put $rndTime

/certificate scep-server otp remove [find password="$otp"]

Here the final version can be found, including inline help with the parameters.

I looked at your request and thought about adding a random time in the future. I would set a time range from a set time (now/future) to a second one set in future.Then generate a random number in that range.

I would use two EPOCH times and deduct max from low to get the range. Count the digits and generate a random number fitting that number of digits. Deduct this random from the max time.
If the result time is lower than the low time do it over till it fits or quick and dirty, divide the random result time by a random divider.

…or I could add ownbase-range as [6-24] as a number between 6 and 24. 6 Is the current hour or a current hour of 4+2 generating a time that lays 2 hours in the future.
