Right, I wasn't worried about Troy's site. But I read through the
comments and there was a criticism that the site was vulnerable to
malicious intrusions. Because I wasn't using the site itself I didn't
worry. Troy also explained why the critcism wasn't entirely valid, but
the commenter was still fairly vicious about it.

Troy is a beast in the security community, so I would not be too worried
about him doing something nefarious. He is constantly working with white
hats and blue teams to get on top of issues as soon as there is even a peep
on the dark web.

I wouldn't type into that web page either. I used Brian's handler that
uses their API and only sends a few characters of the hash to the database.
The article explains how it works and includes ways to set up the system on
your own server if you want. After reading through it I was convinced it
was a safe check.

I would highly recommend NOT typing ANY current password you are using
into a web page like this. If no one knew about it before, they sure as
hell know it now! Whether they avail themselves of it is anyone's guess.

I just got around to trying this -- *very* useful, thanks for posting it.
There are no matches for any of my passwords I've tried so far. :) On
the other hand, even "AbrahamLincoln" has 128 matches. And you have to
insert commas to read the number returned for "qwerty".
