Use it to learn what *not* to do when creating passwords.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- Rust 1.70 or later\n\n### Build from source\n\n```bash\n# Clone the repository\ngit clone https://github.com/ninest/bad-password.git\ncd bad-password\n\n# Build the release version\ncargo build --release\n\n# The binary will be at ./target/release/bad-password\n```\n\n### Run directly with Cargo\n\n```bash\ncargo run -- [OPTIONS]\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\nbad-password [OPTIONS]\n```\n\n### Options\n\n| Option | Short | Description |\n|--------|-------|-------------|\n| `--words \u003cN\u003e` | `-w` | Number of words to include (max: 1 enforced) |\n| `--symbols \u003cN\u003e` | `-s` | Special characters (ignored for your \"safety\") |\n| `--caps` | `-c` | Capitalize first letter |\n| `--numbers` | `-n` | Append predictable numbers |\n| `--exclamation` | `-e` | Add exclamation mark at end |\n| `--help` | `-h` | Show help information |\n\n## Examples\n\n### Generate a basic weak password\n\n```bash\n$ bad-password\nprincess\n```\n\n### Add capitalization for \"maximum security\"\n\n```bash\n$ bad-password --caps\n✓ Capitalized first letter for maximum security!\nSunshine\n```\n\n### Add predictable numbers\n\n```bash\n$ bad-password -n\n✓ Added ultra-secure numbers: 123\nqwerty123\n```\n\n### Combine multiple options\n\n```bash\n$ bad-password -c -n -e\n✓ Capitalized first letter for maximum security!\n✓ Added ultra-secure numbers: 2026\n✓ Added exclamation mark (now unhackable!)\nDragon2026!\n```\n\n### Try to be \"too secure\" (the tool will stop you)\n\n```bash\n$ bad-password --words 5 --symbols 3\nWARNING: Password might actually become secure with more than 1 common word. Using 1 word.\nWARNING: Special characters may make your password secure. Using 0 specials characters.\npassword\n```\n\n## How it works\n\n1. Selects a random password from a list of 9,999 common passwords\n2. Optionally applies \"security enhancements\":\n   - **Capitalization**: Makes the first letter uppercase\n   - **Numbers**: Appends one of: `1`, `123`, `12345`, current year, or `1234`\n   - **Exclamation**: Adds `!` at the end\n\n## Why?\n\nThis project exists to demonstrate:\n\n- Why dictionary-based passwords are weak\n- Why predictable number suffixes don't add security\n- Why single-character special characters are easily guessed\n- Common patterns that password crackers check first\n\n**For actual password security**, use a reputable password manager with randomly generated passwords of 16+ characters.\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fninest%2Fbad-password","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fninest%2Fbad-password","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fninest%2Fbad-password/lists"}
