Subject: passwdqc - proactive password/passphrase strength checking
Hi,
This is to briefly mention a related project of ours and to invite those
interested to "the other" mailing list.
passwdqc, our proactive password/passphrase strength checking and policy
enforcement toolset, has been enhanced in many ways, bringing it up to
version 1.2.0. Please see the full announcement here:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/announce/2010/03/16/1
passwdqc is currently able to proactively check user passwords (that is,
do it when new passwords are attempted to be set) on Linux, FreeBSD,
DragonFly BSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and HP-UX. Much of its functionality
(such as checking the strength of arbitrary passwords/passphrases out of
your own "web apps" or generating random passphrases) is also available
on most other Unix-like systems.
We've setup the passwdqc-users mailing list. Please use it to share
your experience with passwdqc and ask questions. The subscription
instructions are found right on the passwdqc homepage:
http://www.openwall.com/passwdqc/
Somehow there's little overlap in subscriber lists between our announce
list and john-users. 615 subscribed addresses on announce, 942 on
john-users, but only 23 of those are on both lists. This is why I
thought it'd be appropriate to mention a relevant announcement in here.
Some of you could also consider joining the announce list.
Thanks,
Alexander
