Have a look at the source code for KeePass Password Safe ( http://keepass.info/). It has a password generator and strength computation. Version 1.x is written in C++ for MS Windows (using MFC). Version 2.x is a rewrite in C# for .NET.
It has been ported as KeyPassX for Mac OS X and Linux. - h On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 11:51, Martin Hewitson <martin.hewit...@aei.mpg.de>wrote: > Dear list, > > Is anybody aware of a reasonable algorithm or some code that can be used to > test/check the strength of a password?
