Automatically Detect Weak Passwords from Large Password Lists in Python

This Python script identifies weak passwords from a list by checking length, common patterns, sequential characters, and uniform characters, returning those that fail the security checks.

password security validation
Python
import re

COMMON_PASSWORDS_FILE = "common_passwords.txt"

def is_weak(password):
    # Check length
    if len(password) < 8:
        return True
    # Check for common patterns
    if password.lower() in {"password", "123456", "qwerty", "letmein", "admin", "welcome"}:
        return True
    # Check for sequential c…

Build a Secure Password Strength Checker in Python

A Python function that evaluates password strength based on length and character diversity, returning Weak, Moderate, or Strong.

password security regex
Python
import re

def password_strength(password: str) -> str:
    score = 0
    if len(password) >= 8:
        score += 1
    if re.search(r'[a-z]', password):
        score += 1
    if re.search(r'[A-Z]', password):
        score += 1
    if re.search(r'\d', password):

How to Check if a String is Alphanumeric in Python

Uses the built-in str.isalnum() method to test whether a string contains only letters and numbers.

string alphanumeric validation
Python
def is_alphanumeric(s: str) -> bool:
    return s.isalnum()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    test_cases = ["Hello123", "Hello World", "12345", "", "Hello@World", "Python3"]
    for case in test_cases:
        result = is_alphanumeric(case)
        print(f"{case!r:15} -> {result}")

How to Check if a String is Numeric in Python

This code provides a function to determine if a string represents a valid numeric value using Python's built-in float() conversion.

numeric validation strings
Python
def is_numeric(s):
    """Check if a string represents a valid numeric value."""
    try:
        float(s)
        return True

How to Detect if a String Contains Only ASCII in Python

This code defines a function that checks whether every character in a given string is an ASCII character (Unicode code point < 128) and demonstrates it with multiple test cases.

ascii string validation
Python
def is_ascii_only(text: str) -> bool:
    """Return True if all characters in text are ASCII, False otherwise."""
    return all(ord(char) < 128 for char in text)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Test cases
    samples = [
        "Hello, world!",
        "Café au lait",

Python
def is_valid_text(value, min_length=1, max_length=None, allow_empty=False):
    """
    Validate if a value is a string and meets length requirements.
    
    Args:
        value: The value to validate

    return s.isalpha()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    test_strings = ["Hello", "Hello123", "World!", "Python", ""]
