enpass 0.1.2

Simple entropy password validator.

Enpass is a simple password entropy strength validator

This project can be used to validate a password strength. Designed to be lightweight with the following benefits:

• No external API calls
• No large data sets
• Focused entirely on raw entropy values
• More flexible (doesn't require uppercase, numbers, special characters)

Installation

pip install enpass

Quick Start

calc_entropy calculates the entropy of a password in bits.

Entropy equation = log2(B^L) B = Base; L = Length

    import enpass as ep

    password = 'P@SSW0RD!'

    #Calculates the entropy of a password in bits.
    entropy = ep.calc_entopy(password)

validate checks if the password's entropy meets the specified minimum requirement.

Passwords should ideally be > 60. Great Passwords should be between 70-90.

    min_entropy = 60.0
    # Checks if the password's entropy meets the specified minimum requirement.
    validate = ep.validate(entropy, min_entropy)

estimate_bruteforce_time assumes that cracking time scales linearly with the number of possible combinations.

While this might hold for straightforward brute-force attacks, more sophisticated attacks, such as dictionary attacks or those exploiting weaknesses in password hashing algorithms, may have different time complexities.

    guesses_per_second = 100_000_000
    # Estimates the amount of time required to brute-force a password 
    time_brute_estimate = ep.estimate_bruteforce_time(entropy, guesses_per_second)
