Overview

Password Inspector is a utility designed to assist network administrators in keeping user accounts secure. When run by a Supervisor or equivalent, Password Inspector will test user passwords with a large dictionary of common words to see if the password can be found. If a password is found, the Supervisor will have the option of expiring the password, changing the password, or disabling the account.

Password Inspector can also generate composite passwords by combining words in its' dictionary. The dictionary provided with Password Inspector contains thousands of words, however with the composite password option, several million words can easily be generated.

Password Inspector must be run by a supervisor or equivalent on a file server. A user without supervisor access can not use this software.
