π I'm thrilled to share my latest project where I've harnessed the power of Python and machine learning to differentiate between strong and weak passwords. This venture introduces a novel perspective in evaluating password security.
π‘ The core idea was to train a model using data from two wordlist files: 'strongpasswords.txt' and 'weakpasswords.txt'. These files contain thousands of passwords, each labeled as either strong or weak. The model examines various characteristics of passwords, such as length, usage of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.
π The model was trained using the RandomForestClassifier and the results were quite promising. This approach has the potential to aid users in choosing more secure passwords and can play a significant role in enhancing password-based security systems.
π Innovating in the field of cybersecurity and contributing to the development of such tools is a significant motivator for me. If you're interested in learning more about this project, please feel free to reach out!
