XI. Crack functions

Bevezet�s

These functions allow you to use the CrackLib library to test the 'strength' of a password. The 'strength' of a password is tested by that checks length, use of upper and lower case and checked against the specified CrackLib dictionary. CrackLib will also give helpful diagnostic messages that will help 'strengthen' the password.

K�vetelm�nyek

More information regarding CrackLib along with the library can be found at .

Telep�t�s

In order to use these functions, you must compile PHP with Crack support by using the --with-crack[=DIR] option.

P�ld�k

This example shows how to open a CrackLib dictionary, test a given password, retrieve any diagnostic messages, and close the dictionary.

P�lda 1. CrackLib example

<?php
// Open CrackLib Dictionary
$dictionary = crack_opendict('/usr/local/lib/pw_dict')
     or die('Unable to open CrackLib dictionary');

// Perform password check
$check = crack_check($dictionary, 'gx9A2s0x');

// Retrieve messages
$diag = crack_getlastmessage();
echo $diag; // 'strong password'

// Close dictionary
crack_closedict($dictionary);
?>

Megjegyz�s: If crack_check() returns TRUE, crack_getlastmessage() will return 'strong password'.

Tartalom
crack_check -- Performs an obscure check with the given password
crack_closedict -- Closes an open CrackLib dictionary
crack_getlastmessage -- Returns the message from the last obscure check
crack_opendict -- Opens a new CrackLib dictionary

If you set a "crack.default_dictionary" value in your php.ini file, you don't need to call the "crack_opendict" and "crack_closedict" functions.

Example php.ini entry:

[Crack]
crack.default_dictionary = "/usr/local/lib/pw_dict"

Enables this:

<?php
// Perform password check
$check = crack_check('Twawt-Alv2');

// Retrieve messages
$diag = crack_getlastmessage();
echo $diag; // 'strong password'
?>

Following the source of Cracklib 2.7 possible return strings are:
- it is based on a dictionary word
- it is based on a (reversed) dictionary word
- it's WAY too short
- it is too short
- it does not contain enough DIFFERENT characters
- it is all whitespace
- it is too simplistic/systematic
- it looks like a National Insurance number
It may be useful for example in localization of your scripts...
