Password Strength Auditor

Project roadmap

1. 01

   Load a common-passwords wordlist

   ~1h

   Download or bundle a small text file of common passwords and write code to load it into a set for fast lookup.

2. 02

   Implement scoring rules with regex

   ~2h

   Use regular expressions to check for uppercase, lowercase, digits, and symbols, assigning points for each category present.

3. 03

   Combine checks into a strength score

   ~1.5h

   Merge length, character variety, and blacklist checks into a single 0-100 score with a text rating (weak/medium/strong).

4. 04

   Build the CLI interface

   ~1h

   Wire the scorer to argparse so users can pass a password as an argument or be prompted securely with getpass.

5. 05

   Add batch mode and tests

   ~1.5h

   Support reading multiple passwords from a file and write unit tests covering edge cases like empty or very long passwords.
