PasStrength: Elevate Your Password Security with Advanced Strength and Leak Detection

Overview

PasStrength is a Python-based tool designed to elevate your password security. It evaluates passwords based on length, character variety, and checks them against known leaked passwords. With a user-friendly graphical interface built using Tkinter, Passify offers an easy way to assess and improve your password strength.

✨ Features

• Password Length Check: Scores passwords based on length, with higher scores for longer passwords.
• Character Variety Check: Assesses the presence of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters.
• Leak Check: Compares passwords against a database of commonly leaked passwords to ensure they are not vulnerable.
• Repetition Check: Identifies passwords with consecutive character repetitions that may weaken security.
• Strength Rating: Provides a strength rating (Very Weak, Weak, Moderate, Strong) based on an aggregated score from various checks.

📚 Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Tkinter (usually included with Python installations)
• re (Regular expressions library, usually included with Python installations)

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/kalmux1/PasStrength.git
   cd PasStrength

2. Run the application:

   python passtrength.py

3. Ensure you have the password list file:

   • The tool uses a file named Passwords.txt for checking against known leaks. Ensure this file is in the same directory as passtrength.py or adjust the path variable in the script accordingly.

🛠️ How It Works

• Password Check:
  • Length Check: Points are awarded based on password length.
  • Character Variety Check: Points are awarded for different types of characters (uppercase, lowercase, digits, special characters).
  • Repetition Check: Flags passwords with consecutive character repetitions.
  • Leak Check: Checks the password against a list of leaked passwords.
  • Strength Rating: Aggregates scores from all checks to classify password strength.
