PassTest - Test Password Strength

PassTest is a program used to test the strength of passwords. The program is written in C using the GTK4 toolkit. It was written and tested on a Fedora GNU/Linux system.

The program user can enter a password of from 4 to 64 ASCII characters in order to test the estimated
strength of the password. The user first selects the alphabet that was used to create their password. The alphabet can consist of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and, ASCII printable special characters. In addition, the user can enter a custom special character set to be included into the alphabet in place of the entire 32-character ASCII symbols.

When the user presses the "TEST" button, the program will calculate the estimated password strength and display and indication of the password's strength.

Note: The password strength is the calculated estimated bit entropy.
