PersonaMatrix A Fake Identity Generator

This Python-based tool generates realistic user data intended for use when registering on new services, Protect your privacy by generating fictional identities for online registrations, sign-ups, and subscriptions Starting with German data, the project is structured for easy expansion to include datasets from other countries and cultures, serving privacy-conscious users globally.

Main Features

• Generates comprehensive and realistic user profiles to protect users' privacy during service registration.
• Customizable data generation including names, addresses, email, phone numbers, birthdays, ages, usernames, passwords, and user agent strings.
• Initial support for German data, with a modular design for straightforward addition of other regions' data sets.
• Facilitates the safeguarding of personal information by providing alternative, plausible data for online forms.

Installation

Ensure Python 3.x is installed on your system. The project relies on the fake-useragent library among potentially others. Install all necessary libraries using the requirements.txt file included in the project:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To generate a user profile, run the main.py script. This script utilizes datasets located in the data directory. Modify or augment these datasets to customize the generated data:

python main.py

Your project directory should be structured as follows, including the initial datasets and any additions:

project/
│
├── main.py
├── requirements.txt
└── data/
    └── german/
        ├── first-names.txt
        ├── last-names.txt
        ├── streets.txt
        ├── cities.txt
        ├── zip-codes.txt
        └── mobile-numbers.txt

Contributions

Contributions that extend the dataset, enhance functionality, or improve the project's privacy protection capabilities are welcome. To add data from additional countries or regions, create a new directory within data/ and populate it with .txt files relevant to each category of data (e.g., first-names.txt, last-names.txt).
