Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

How to Use

For Browser

Add js script to your html file.

<script src="./PasswordBenchmark.js"></script>

<!-- [ optional ] list of about 10000 most common passwords, 86kb (gzip 32kb)  -->
<script src="./MostPopularPasswords.js"></script>

Calculate the security quality of passwords.

PasswordBenchmark('you password here');
// return the security quality of passwords.

For Node.JS, Webpack...

First download from npm.

npm install --save password-benchmark

Import and initialize the library.

import PasswordBenchmark from 'password-benchmark';

// [ optional ] list of about 10000 most common passwords, 86kb (gzip 32kb)
import MostPopularPasswords from 'password-benchmark/dist/MostPopularPasswords'

// Load the popular passwords list
PasswordBenchmark.PopularPasswords.load(MostPopularPasswords)

Calculate the security quality of passwords.

PasswordBenchmark('you password here');
// return the security quality of passwords.

Algorithm from KeePass

KeePass uses an advanced algorithm for estimating the quality/strength of passwords. It searches for patterns, like e.g. popular passwords (based on a built-in list of about 10000 most common passwords; variations by upper-/lower-case and L33t substitutions are detected), repeated sequences, numbers (consisting of multiple digits), constant difference sequences, etc. For each pattern combination covering the whole password, the cost (number of bits required to encode the data and the order of the pattern identifiers) is calculated. For encoding pattern identifiers, an optimal static entropy encoder is used. Each single password character forms a pattern of length 1 and is encoded using a character space-dependent damped static entropy encoder. The minimum pattern combination cost is used as the final quality estimation.

| Bits | Strength | |--------:|:------------| | 0-64 | Very weak | | 64-80 | Weak | | 80-112 | Moderate | | 112-128 | Strong | | ≥ 128 | Very strong |
