DESCRIPTION

13       PW-Inspector reads  passwords  in  and  prints  those  which  meet  the
14       requirements.   The return code is the number of valid passwords found,
15       0 if none was found.  Use  for  security:  check  passwords,  if  0  is
16       returned,  reject  password choice.  Use for hacking: trim your dictio‐
17       nary file to the pw requirements of the target.  Usage only allowed for
18       legal purposes.
