your-pw-sucks is a a comprehensive password analysis program that evaluates the strength and security of user-provided passwords.

The program aims to empower users to create stronger, more secure passwords by providing detailed feedback and recommendations based on industry best practices and advanced analysis algorithms.

1. User Interface Development:

• Design and implement an intuitive and user-friendly interface using a graphical user interface (GUI) framework like PyQt or Tkinter.
• Include input fields for users to enter passwords and customizable options for adjusting analysis settings (e.g., minimum length, character requirements).
• Display analysis results in a clear and understandable format, highlighting strengths and weaknesses of the password.

2. Password Strength Metrics:

• Implement algorithms to assess various aspects of password strength, including:

• Length: Ensure passwords meet a minimum length requirement (configurable by the user).
• Character Diversity: Check for the presence of different character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, special characters) and assess their distribution.
• Avoidance of Common Patterns: Detect common patterns, sequences, or dictionary words in passwords that could make them vulnerable to attacks.
• Entropy Calculation: Calculate the entropy of passwords to estimate their randomness and unpredictability.
• Common Substitution Patterns: Identify and penalize passwords that use common character substitutions to create the illusion of complexity.
• Repetition and Sequential Characters: Detect and flag repeated characters, consecutive numbers, or sequential keyboard patterns in passwords.
• Check Against Known Breached Passwords: Compare passwords against known breached password lists to warn users if their password has been compromised.
• Custom Rules and Policies: Allow users to define custom password strength rules and policies based on their specific security requirements.

3. Integration with Password Crackers:

• Integrate password-cracking libraries or tools (e.g., John the Ripper) to simulate real-world password cracking attempts.
• Analyze crack results to provide insights into the effectiveness of the password and its susceptibility to common attack methods.
• Utilize the results to provide tailored feedback and recommendations for improving password security.

4. Feedback and Reporting:

• Provide detailed feedback to users on the strength and security of their passwords, highlighting areas for improvement.
• Generate comprehensive reports summarizing the analysis results, including metrics such as password complexity score, entropy, and vulnerability assessment.
• Offer actionable recommendations and best practices for creating stronger, more resilient passwords.

5. Security and Privacy:

• Implement robust security measures to protect user passwords and analysis results, including encryption and secure storage practices.
• Ensure compliance with privacy regulations and standards to safeguard user data and maintain user trust.

6. Customization and Configuration:

• Allow users to customize analysis settings and thresholds to align with their specific security needs and preferences.
• Provide options for adjusting sensitivity levels and trade-offs between security and usability, accommodating users with varying levels of security expertise. 7.Documentation and Testing:
• Create comprehensive documentation, including installation guides, user manuals, and API references.
• Conduct thorough testing across different operating systems, environments, and use cases to ensure the program's reliability, accuracy, and performance.
• Implement continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to automate testing and ensure the timely delivery of updates and improvements.
