Do you mean for a remote site to probe your firewalls and login systems to try to achieve a breach? That would appear to be a sysadmin task, not a user task, as it may reveal more than just a few insecure passwords! Or do you mean for your users to enter their passwords into a (local) program that can tell them plainly if their password is useless? You can do this using a local PHP page: http://scripts.franciscocharrua.com/check-password.php http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/PHP/Recipe/101526 If you can find the source for something like this: http://www.securitystats.com/tools/password.php and implement it locally, that would be useful. Maybe: http://www.openwall.com/passwdqc/ There's a Java solution that you could implement locally too: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kirillcool/archive/2005/12/visual_feedback.html http://www.leeholmes.com/projects/pgppass/ > (Following on from which I > can jump, rant and scream and get them to improve their computer > security) > > Tks > > > Henry -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
