Check password complexity

I am trying to create a utility that will check a users password complexity. I work at a school district and trying to get the students to understand our password complexity rules is pretty tough. What I have done is create a utility that executes when the user logs in. They are asked to enter their password into the input boxes and then confirm it too. The password is checked to make sure it contains 3 out of the 4 character types:

- Upper case

- Lower case

- Digit

- Special character

The password has to be at least 8 characters and cannot exceed 2 consecutive characters from the username.

Everything seems to be working except the finding of consecutive characters in the username. I have he script store the consecutive characters in an array, but instead of just storing the 1 character that is in the consecutive order in the username, it adds every letter that it matches to the array.

For example:

Username = tech

Password = Ilovetec1

The script see's that tec is in the password and that is also in the username. The problem is, it then uses the other e in the password and stores that in the array. So I end up with an array with the letters "etec".

I know I am coding this wrong, and I am wondering if anyone can help me correct my code or point me in the right direction.

This is the full script:

Here are parts of the code that are performing the check and I believe to be wrong. Lines 113 and 155.

$arrayString1 = StringRegExp(GUICtrlRead($txtPassword), "(?i)[" & $rUser & "]", 3)
$passwordUsername = _ArrayToString($arrayString1,"",0,2)

ElseIf StringInStr($rUser,$passwordUsername) And UBound($arrayString1) > 2 Then
    GUICtrlSetData($lblSuggestions,"Password contains part of the username. There are at least 3 consecutive characters in your name that you have used for your password. The 3 consecutive letters are, " & $passwordUsername & ".")
    GUICtrlSetData($txtPasswordConfirm,"")
    GUICtrlSetData($txtPassword,"")

I don't have a great understanding of stringregexp, but it does work for some passwords. I may just need to tweak something with another string function...

ANy help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff

I set our complexity rules to be as simple as possible: 42 characters, non-repeating, number, special character, and at least one character from 4 different languages

So I saw you posted that in the examples a while ago and I was thinking, that's like my idea but looks much better!

However, I don't see where your code checks for consecutive characters from the username. Can your UDF check for consecutive characters in a password from a username or a given string?

Thanks

Not yet, but I could do. Would you mind providing an example of what would fail? I'm guessing AAutoIt33

you have to give a delimiter for _ArrayToString(Const ByRef $avArray [, $sDelim = "|" [, $iStart = 0 [, $iEnd = 0]]]).

so that the username variants don't get merged ...hte|tech|tce....

.

$passwordUsername = _ArrayToString($arrayString1,"|",0,2)

.

Thanks for the heads up James.

At the school district I work for they are using Google Docs, and to sync our accounts and passwords with Google requires us to use this complexity, otherwise the sync fails.

I don't know too much about the Google part to be honest, as I don't manage that side of it.

By the way, if you store passwords properly, there should be no rules in place for complexity. There is no need for it.

 

I set our complexity rules to be as simple as possible: 42 characters, non-repeating, number, special character, and at least one character from 4 different languages :)

Edano,

I am using the _ArrayToString function in my code already.

$arrayString1 = StringRegExp(GUICtrlRead($txtPassword), "(?i)[" & $rUser & "]", 3)
$passwordUsername = _ArrayToString($arrayString1,"",0,2)

The $txtPassword variable is read from an GuiCtrlInput box.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by using a delimeter. I mean I know what they are, but I guess I don't get how else I can use it.

Right now I have it to start at row 0 of the array and finish looking at row 2. The problem is if the array contains more than 3 rows, then that function messes up the rest of the code.

i cannot try out your script because i don't have the includes :( but you could try it with delimiter ....

Checking for consecutive letters is not the same as checking for multiple inclusion of a given letter.

Your regexp checks for the latter condition and this one will check for the former:

Local $ret = StringRegExp("technician", "(I?c?h?l?o?v?e?t?e?c?h?1?)", 1)  ; changed to test for shorter substring
; then look at the string length of what you get, if any

Thanks for the response Edano. Here is what happens when I run that.

Password - Ilovetec1

The return string of _ArrayToString($arrayString1,"|",0,2) is:

e|t|e

If I used it without specifying a delimeter then I get this:

ete

 

What I need to happen is for it to return:

tec

 

It keeps returning the first e that it finds in the string, because is found in the username.

well this is a dirty workaround, you may prefer a more elegant way, but at least it works:

.

#include <Array.au3>

$user="tech"
$pass="ilovetec1"

$checkstring=""

For $i=1 To StringLen($user)-2
    $checkstring&=StringMid($user,$i,3)&"|"
Next

$checkstring=StringTrimRight($checkstring,1)

MsgBox(0,"",$checkstring)

$checkarray=StringSplit($checkstring,"|")

_ArrayDisplay($checkarray)

For $i=1 To $checkarray[0]
    If StringInStr($pass,$checkarray[$i]) Then MsgBox(0,"","Password contains following String from username: "&$checkarray[$i])
Next

.

Thank you, thank you, thank you all!

I used the StringRegExp code that jchd posted and this worked. Here is how that part looked.

If GUICtrlRead($txtPassword) = GUICtrlRead($txtPasswordConfirm) Then
                $stringLen = StringLen(GUICtrlRead($txtPassword))
                $stringUp = StringIsUpper(GUICtrlRead($txtPassword))
                $stringLow = StringIsLower(GUICtrlRead($txtPassword))
                $stringDig = StringIsDigit(GUICtrlRead($txtPassword))
                $arrayString = StringSplit(GUICtrlRead($txtPassword),"")
                ;_ArrayDisplay($arrayString)
                Global $string = ""
                For $i = 1 To $arrayString[0]
                    $string = $string & $arrayString[$i] & "?"
                Next
                ;MsgBox(0,"",$string)
                $arrayString1 = StringRegExp($rUser, "(" & $string & ")", 3)
                $arrayTotal = UBound($arrayString1)
                Global $passwordString
                For $i = 0 To $arrayTotal
                    If $arrayString1[$i] <> ""  and StringLen($arrayString1[$i]) = 3 Then
                        $passwordString = $arrayString1[$i]
                        ExitLoop
                    EndIf
                Next

Here is the full script, which is a little bit different to how it will be, it was just hopefully easier to understand on the forum this way.

haha :) i see you found your solution.

i'm laughing because i just found a much much smaller version of my upper code:

.

$user="tech"
$pass="ilovetec1"
For $i=1 To StringLen($user)-3
    $checkstring=StringMid($user,$i,3)
    If StringInStr($pass,$checkstring) Then MsgBox(0,"","Password contains following String from username: "&$checkstring)
Next

.

wow. so easy.

To determine consecutive characters, try this...

ConsoleWrite(StringRegExp('AnExampleOfTheMoon12', '(.)\1') & @CRLF) ; Returns 1
ConsoleWrite(StringRegExp('AnExampleOfTheMo0n12', '(.)\1') & @CRLF) ; Returns 0

I just update my password UDF with this addition.
