# Password-Entropy-Calculator
Built off of tests-always-included/password-strength
-This Calculates the relative strength of a password using several techniques. Primarily this relies on letter trigraphs, which check each set of 3 characters in a given password. This also calculates the entropy bits based on Claude Shannon's technique on determining the number of bits required to represent a set of characters and multiplying it by the length of the password and there's a check to see if a password is contained in a list of common passwords and as a bonus there's also a "Search Space" or (Total Possible Combinations) Calculator, inspired by GRC's Interactive Brute Force Password “Search Space” Calculator.

You can toggle between the normal algorithm which is:
+```javascript
+ Math.pow(number-of-characters, Password-length);
+```
+and a symbol character set size of 32.
+
+GRC's algorithm which is:
+
+```javascript
+function GRC(Password-length)
+{
+ if(Password-length < 1)
+ {
+ return 0 ;
+ }
+ if (Password-length == 1)
+ {
+ return Math.pow(number-of-characters, Password-length);
+ }
+ return Math.pow(number-of-characters, Password-length - 1) + GRC(Password-length - 1);
+}
+```
+and a symbol character set size of 32.
