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 <a href="https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm" target="_blank">GRC's Interactive Brute Force Password “Search Space” Calculator.</a>
You can toggle between the normal algorithm and GRC's algorithm.
# The normal algorithm is:
* The normal algorithm is:
```javascript
Math.pow(number-of-characters, Password-length);
```
and a symbol character set size of 32.
# GRC's algorithm is:
* GRC's algorithm is:
```javascript
function GRC(Password-length)
