I was scouring the internet looking for a freely available “Password Strength Meter” script. You’ve probably all come across them. The vast majority are useless. They’re useless because they use mainly empirical methods to determine the strength of a password. Whilst empirical methods may provide a good estimate for the strength of a password subject to a brute force attack. Most don’t even consider dictionary or hybrid-dictionary attack mechanisms. So… I decided to make my own.
