Description:
littlepwny 0.3
Has my password been compromised? And how often?
little-pwny queries the have-i-been-pwned password database for breaches that contain a given
passphrase and returns the number of breaches found. It does not reveal the
plain passphrase to the HIBP server (nor to anyone/anything else, see below).
little-pwny works with plain Python 3.x and requires no additional packages.
Usage
$ pwny p@ssw0rd
51763
$ pwny aiPh1eehec8AhY2y
0
Use:
$ pwny --help
to learn more about all options supported.
Please note, that the Python package is called little-pwny while the
executable script is called pwny.
At no time the raw password is transferred to https://haveibeenpwned.com (or
elsewhere). Instead we use the generously offered haveibeenpwned.com-API to
deploy k-anonymity. I.e. we send
the first five chars of the SHA1 hash of any given password. This way you can
check new passwords without revealing them to the server (or any other party).
Install
You need at least some Python3 interpreter installed on your System.
with pip
Simply:
$ pip3 install --user little-pwny
Leave out –user if you are root and want to install little-pwny
system-wide.
If pip is not installed on your system, chances are, your Python3 comes with
pip included:
$ python3 -m pip install --user little-pwny
(again you can leave –user out in case you are root).
If that fails as well, you might use your systems package manager to install
pip3. On Ubuntu for instance this will do:
$ sudo apt install python3-pip
$ sudo pip3 install little-pwny
From Source
Clone the source:
$ git clone https://codeberg.org/ulif/little-pwny
$ cd little-pwny
Create and activate a virtualenv:
$ virtualenv venv
$ source ./venv/bin/activate.sh
Then, from this directory, install the package:
[venv] $ pip install -e .
Running Tests
We use tox and py.test for testing. So,:
$ pip install tox
$ tox
should run all tests.
