PassMeRust v0.2.0-alpha: Entropy-Based Password Strength Evaluator

Introducing PassMeRust v0.2.0-alpha

Most password tools rely heavily on length. This project challenges that approach, focusing on entropy for a more accurate password strength evaluation.

Why?

Password length doesn't equate to strength. Inspired by the "correct horse battery staple" xkcd, I dove into Rust, aiming to tackle this problem head-on.

Key Features:

• Entropy-Based Strength Check: Instead of just length, we consider character variety and entropy.
• Common Passwords & Dictionary Check: Basic checks against known weak passwords.
• Supports Space Characters: Good for checking passphrases.

How to Use:

See the README. If you're familiar with Rust, it's a straightforward cargo build.

Feedback Wanted:

This is an alpha release. I'm seeking feedback from developers. Once refined, I plan to publish this to the crate registry.
