zxcvbn-js
There is now a more compelte zxcvbn implmentation in ruby, so please check out https://github.com/formigarafa/zxcvbn-rb
Fork of zxcvbn-ruby
This fork runs the JS implementation via ExecJS so that the results are the same. This fixes discrepancies in the implentation for using zxcvbn also for client-side validation.
Ruby port of zxcvbn.js
Usage
Gemfile:
gem 'zxcvbn-js', require: 'zxcvbn'
Example usage:
$ irb
>> require 'zxcvbn'
=> true
>> Zxcvbn.test('@lfred2004', ['alfred'])

Testing Multiple Passwords
The dictionaries used for password strength testing are loaded each request to Zxcvbn.test
. If you you'd prefer to persist the dictionaries in memory (approx 20MB RSS) to perform lots of password tests in succession then you can use the Zxcvbn::Tester
API:
$ irb
>> require 'zxcvbn'
=> true
>> tester = Zxcvbn::Tester.new
=> #<Zxcvbn::Tester:0x3fe99d869aa4>
>> tester.test('@lfred2004', ['alfred'])
=> #<Zxcvbn::Score:0x007fd4689c1168 @entropy=29.782, @crack_time=46159.451, @crack_time_display="14 hours", @score=2, @match_sequence=[#<Zxcvbn::Match pattern="spatial", i=0, j=15, token="asdfghju7654rewq", graph="qwerty", turns=5, shifted_count=0, entropy=29.7820508329166>], password"asdfghju7654rewq", calc_time0.00526
>> tester.test('@lfred2004', ['alfred'])
=> #<Zxcvbn::Score:0x007fd4689c1168 @entropy=29.782, @crack_time=46159.451, @crack_time_display="14 hours", @score=2, @match_sequence=[#<Zxcvbn::Match pattern="spatial", i=0, j=15, token="asdfghju7654rewq", graph="qwerty", turns=5, shifted_count=0, entropy=29.7820508329166>], password"asdfghju7654rewq", calc_time0.00526
Note: Storing the entropy of an encrypted or hashed value provides
information that can make cracking the value orders of magnitude easier for an
attacker. For this reason we advise you not to store the results of
Zxcvbn::Tester#test
