FLEK

A Rustacean implementation of my own algorithms to check for password security.

ABOUT

This is my Rust implementation of a package I wrote in Dart roughly a year ago and implemented also in ECMA Script. These packages all do one thing: They provide functions for you to check whether your passwords are secure or not. My algorithm gives your password a score and if the score is higher than eight, then the password is deemed to be secure. Why Flek? The name is a combination of the words Flaw and Che(c)k. All of these packages implement an algorithm of my own design and have all been optimized to be as fast as possible. Enjoy. :heart:

INSTALLATION

FOR RUST PROJECTS

To use Flek in your Rust project, add this line to your project's Cargo.toml:

TOML flek = "1.4.0"

FOR THE COMMAND LINE

Execute these steps in order:

• 1.) Download the executable for your platform from the Releases Section.
• 2.) Save it in a location that is on your system path.

Alternatively, you can also simply install Flek via Cargo itself using this command:

bash cargo install flek

USAGE

APIs

For usage instuctions on Flek's functions and structures, please read the documentation here.

COMMAND LINE

To get info about the security analysis of a password, make sure the flek command is available from the command line. If the command is available, you can run these commands from the command line:

• Get security info about your password:

```bash flek -p 1969HoglinSteak_@

OR

flek --pwd 1969HoglinSteak_@

OR

flek pwd 1969HoglinSteak_@ ```

• Get version info:

```bash flek -v

OR

flek --version

OR

flek version ```

• Get help info:

```bash flek -h

OR

flek --help

OR

flek help ```
