Welcome to OWASP Passfault

Objective: Do Passwords Better!

NOTE: This project has been discontinued, but the zxcvbn project has a very similar approach and has been quite successful. We recommend using that library.

  1. install java 8 jdk
  2. cd commandLine
  3. ../gradlew installDist
  4. run build/install/passfault/bin/passfault

Running the jsonWebService:

  1. cd jsonService
  2. ../gradlew build jettyRunWar
  3. browse to localhost:8080/jsonService Note the war will be located in jsonService/build/lib/passfault-jsonService-[version].war

Running in Docker:

  1. Pull the Passfault image: docker pull ccaamm/passfault
  2. Create and run a passfault instance: docker run -p 8080:8080 --name myPassfault ccaamm/passfault
