Password Strength Demo
An interactive demonstration tool for analyzing and visualizing password strength, designed to educate users about secure password practices.
Features
- Real-time Analysis: Instant feedback as users type their passwords
- Strength Scoring: Visual indicator showing password strength from weak to strong
- Vulnerability Detection: Identifies common password weaknesses such as:
- Dictionary words and common passwords
- Sequential characters (abc, 123)
- Repeated patterns
- Lack of character variety
- Educational Feedback: Provides specific suggestions for improving password security
Security Concepts Demonstrated
Password Entropy
Shows how password length and character diversity affect the total number of possible combinations an attacker would need to try.
Common Attack Vectors
- Dictionary Attacks: Detection of words found in common password lists
- Brute Force Estimation: Time-to-crack estimates based on password complexity
- Pattern Recognition: Identification of keyboard patterns and common substitutions
Use Cases
- Security awareness training
- Developer education on password validation
- Demonstration of password policy requirements
- User-friendly security feedback implementation
