(Updated version) Now with list of common passwords database and customized analysis.
With the fast growing of the Internet, the use of passwords has become very important for all of us. But not a lot of people uses strong password (which mean it cannot be easily cracked). So I made this utility to test your passwords to see if they are strong. You just have to enter a password and the program will tell you how is it strong and it will also tell how much time it would take to crack this password. Note: You can customize the parameters in the program for your needs. Fully commented.
You will surely be suprised of the results.
Please rate it so I can see your appreciation.

Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
- Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
- NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
- Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net
including:McAfee.com

Its a nice program, but there are 2 things that should be noticed.
When i loaded the program, it went searching for an missing OCX thst is in my windows dir. So i manually have added the progress bar.
Passwords are only checked by length. if i enter ppppppppppppppppp as password, it says its very strong, but its actually quite weak.
