HaveIBeenPwned

A simple command line program that tells you the number of times a password has been pwned according to haveibeenpwned.com
Inspired by this video

Usage

./haveIBeenPwned Password1
Your password has been pwned 111658 times

Details

  • This program does not send the password to the haveIBeenPwned API. Instead it sends the first 5 characters of a sha1 hash.
  • The haveIBeenPwned API will return hashes that are similair to the given hash. This program then looks for any complete matches and returns the results.
