* Package name : pwndck Version : 0.1 Upstream Contact: David Steele <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/davesteele/pwndck * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: Python Description : Check a password against the HaveIBeenPwned database Pwned Check Evaluate a password against the HaveIBeenPwned password database, and return the number of accounts for which it has been reported as compromised. See https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/v3#PwnedPasswords I developed this for my own use. There are other packages that work with HIBP, but all I found were much more heavyweight (e.g. download the database for local use).Commercial services that purport to monitor the dark web for you, reporting on
password breaches against your email address, can be particularly useless. They'll tell you there is a leak of your password, but won't say for which site, or for which password. HIBP offers a way to determine if a particular password is bad. This utility enhances the security of the process, ensuring that the queried password is not exposed beyond the local machine. I plan on maintaining this myself, though I invite supporters and co- maintainers.
