PassCheck is an open-source password validation tool that helps users check whether a password is strong enough or not. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install PassCheck on Ubuntu server.
Before starting, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, update your Ubuntu server packages and repositories by running the following commands in your terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Next, install the dependencies required to run PassCheck:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential libpcre3-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev
Now, clone the PassCheck repository to your Ubuntu server by running:
git clone https://github.com/Anhurio/passcheck.git
Once the repository has been cloned to your server, navigate to the PassCheck directory and build the tool using the following commands:
cd passcheck/
make
After the build process completes successfully, install PassCheck by running the following command:
sudo make install
To test whether PassCheck is working correctly, execute the following command:
passcheck "password"
Replace "password" with the password you want to test. If the password is considered weak, PassCheck will inform you about the weak points of the password. If it is considered strong, PassCheck will let you know.
By following this tutorial, you have successfully installed PassCheck on Ubuntu server. You can now use PassCheck to validate your passwords and ensure your security.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
