For one things, it's being a bit too harsh on numeric->alpha conversions like 4->A and 3->E...it should divide the intermediate results by 2 or something internally while computing the score after a transformaion like that.

(...) Ah, checked again, it didn't detect "7!" as a mapping for "li", but did detect "7i" as "li". It did reject both passwords though, but it had a lot fewer problems with the "7!" version, and the level changed from "worthless" to "weak". (...)

The way the checker achieves its speed is by looking up all substrings in its dictionary rather than passing every single diciontionary word over all substrings (which could take hours).

(...) OK, try that again now. Seeing that this site is LEGO-related, it's best to treat "x" and "X" as part of numeric stuff. In fact there are many other things besides 'x' and '=' which are numeric-related. :-o It now very much dislikes numerical (...) (24 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

It really likes: fnark-5- (345%) but hates: fnark-5-lego (-104%) Surely that's squiffy? Or is it based on the theory that being able to guess the 'lego' part will make the 'fnark-5-' more obvious? Richard (24 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) It's a side-effect of downrating fluffy portions even though they don't hurt.
