This is a java port of zxcvbn, which is a password strength estimator inspired by password crackers written on JavaScript.
Through pattern matching and conservative estimation, it recognizes and weighs 30k common passwords, common names and surnames according to US census data, popular English words from Wikipedia and US television and movies, and other common patterns like dates, repeats (aaa), sequences (abcd), keyboard patterns (qwertyuiop), and l33t speak.

- It includes JIS keyboard layout in spatial matching.
- Localization feedback messages.
- Password args accept CharSequence as well as String.
- This gives a lot more flexibility in what format the password can be in.
- Also attempts to avoid using Strings for any sensitive intermediate objects.
compile 'com.nulab-inc:zxcvbn:1.4.1'
<dependency>
<groupId>com.nulab-inc</groupId>
<artifactId>zxcvbn</artifactId>

To build:
$ git clone git@github.com:nulab/zxcvbn4j.git
$ cd zxcvbn4j/
$ ./gradlew build
Basic Usage. This is also available Android.
Zxcvbn zxcvbn = new Zxcvbn();
Strength strength = zxcvbn.measure("This is password");If you want to add your own dictionary, put the keyword list of List type to the second argument.
List<String> sanitizedInputs = new ArrayList();
sanitizedInputs.add("nulab");
sanitizedInputs.add("backlog");
sanitizedInputs.add("cacoo");
sanitizedInputs.add("typetalk");
Zxcvbn zxcvbn = new Zxcvbn();
Strength strength = zxcvbn.measure("This is password", sanitizedInputs);The return result is "Strength". It's almost the same as zxcvbn.

offlineSlowHashing1e4PerSecond
# offline attack with user-unique salting but a fast hash

# guesses per second, depending on number of cores and machines.

{

# not always set -- sometimes an empty string
warning

}
# the list of patterns that zxcvbn based the guess calculation on.
strength.sequence
