Does anyone know of a Linux-native application that can be installed locally to evaluate the strength of passwords you create? I’ve used online tools in the past for this purpose, but I realize it’s probably safer not to trust a website with password testing.
The kind of feedback I’m talking about would look something like this:
"Password can be cracked in 30 seconds – change it."
"Crackable in an hour – not strong enough."
"Strong password – would take 10 years to crack."
"Excellent – estimated time to crack: 10,000+ years."
I searched Discover but didn’t come across anything. I'd bet someone out there has written something like this; it seems like a project that could be tackled by a capable programmer.
Obviously, any tool like this should come from a highly trusted source, given the sensitivity involved. If anyone knows of such a tool, I’d really appreciate a recommendation. Thanks!
