Password Check

Calculate entropy and strength locally and check against Have I Been Pwned via k-anonymity.

Only the SHA-1 prefix is sent directly from your browser to the Have I Been Pwned range API. Everything else is calculated locally (k-anonymity, 5 hex characters, padded response). The D4rC server never receives your password.

Theoretical entropy = length × log₂(pool). It assumes random characters; real passwords with words or patterns are much weaker, which the effective value reflects.

Estimated time to crack

Online, rate-limited – 100 guesses / hour
Online, unthrottled – 10 guesses / second
Offline, slow hash – bcrypt / Argon2 · 10,000 / s
Offline, fast hash – MD5 / SHA-1 on GPUs · 100 billion / s

Average time (half the search space) based on the effective entropy. Breached passwords are cracked instantly regardless of entropy.
