Method Details

getBruteForceCardinality

public static int getBruteForceCardinality(String password)

Calculates the brute force cardinality of a given password. The brute force cardinality is the estimated range of character a brute force method would use to crack the password.

Parameters:

password - the password we are estimating the brute force cardinality

Returns:

the brute force cardinality
