So if you want to know why "Pa$$w0rd" takes less than a second to get into and "ETSLSG's new toy" would take a while (142 million years) for a government funded program?

The new password checker takes into consideration the top 5000 most commonly used passwords and new age brute forcing methods. It checks for regularly used patterns and common substitutions, and tries to accurately estimate completely random passwords. We are also working on building the tool up to include as much of the top 10,000,000 as possible without causing the page to load slowly, so consider that a Work In Progress. As a note, the chance of anyone doing a full random password attack on your password is very limited and most hackers will just use a word list. However, if you have listed your personal information on social media and you use any data in your password that is linked to personal names, dates or locations, that will be where the attacker will pivot to first. That is what the checker is trying to help with. We used SecLists (https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists) as a reference as it is our go to for Red Team operations, here is the full 10,000,000 item word list if you want to [ctrl+f] or [command+f] to see if your password is in the file.
