Problem
People have been trying to determine a metric for password security for a long time. One relatively outdated way to determine this is using Password Entropy.
This is the equation for Password Entropy.
Where E is the entropy, R is the pool, and L is the length of the password.
The pool is determined by what type of characters are in the password. For example, there are 26 lowercase characters, so a password containing only lowercase letters would have a pool of 26. There are 26 uppercase characters, so a password containing lower and uppercase characters would have a pool of 52.
After determining the entropy, the password is classified under 5 categories:
if E < 28, the password is Very Weak.
if 28 < E < 35, the password is Weak.
if 35 < E < 59, the password is Good.
if 59 < E < 127, the password is Strong.
if E > 127, the password is Very Strong.
Your task is to create a program that takes in a string of text and outputs the strength of the password.
The password should be able to contain upper and lowercase characters, digits, and these symbols:
> symbols = ['!', '@', '#', '$', '%', '&', '(', ')', '-', '_', '[', ']', '{', '}', ';', ':', '"', '.', '/', '<', '>', '?']
You may also have to use import math to gain access to the log function.Â
Example:
> Password: abc123
> Weak
Since the password contains only lowercase characters and digits, the pool will be 26 + 10 = 36. The password is 6 characters long. Inputting that into the formula outputs around 31.01 bits of entropy, making this password Weak.
Testing
Your program should output the following. Be sure to do your own testing.
> Password: algebruh2
> Good
> Password: Mr.Lee1$th3g0@t!
> Strong
> Password: heyYall!
> Good
> Password: abc123
> Weak
> Password: foo
> Very Weak
> Password: totallyNotmyPW
> Strong
> Password: this!s@V3rYStrongPWisntthatcrazy?
> Very Strong
> Password: isn'tvalid
> Invalid Password
> Password: chickenS
> Good
> Password: thankU4Agr8Ye@r
> Strong
