Password Security Analyzer

Project Overview

The Password Security Analyzer is a comprehensive tool designed to analyze password strength, detect breaches, and provide security recommendations. This application leverages C#, Java, and Python to deliver real-time insights through a modern and responsive dashboard.

Key Features

• Real-time password strength analysis
• Data breach checking using the HaveIBeenPwned API
• Multiple hashing algorithm comparisons
• Visual strength progression meters
• Smart improvement suggestions
• Cross-platform desktop application

Architecture

The application is structured into three main components:

• C# Frontend: A WPF desktop application providing the user interface.
• Java API Server: A Spring Boot REST backend handling requests and responses.
• Python Analytics: A Flask service performing security analysis and breach detection.

Setup Instructions

To set up the project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <your-repo>
   cd PasswordSecurityAnalyzer

2. Backend setup:

   • Navigate to the analytics directory and install the required Python packages:

     cd analytics
     pip install -r requirements.txt

   • Navigate to the backend directory and build the Java application:

     cd ../backend
     mvn clean install

3. Frontend setup:

   • Restore the NuGet packages for the C# frontend:

     cd ../frontend
     dotnet restore

4. Run all services:

   ./scripts/run-dev.sh

Usage Guidelines

• Launch the application and enter a password in the input field.
• Observe real-time feedback on password strength and breach status.
• Review the improvement suggestions provided based on the analysis.
• Explore hash comparisons for different algorithms.
