This module implements different typo correction strategies discussed in https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~rahul/papers/pwtypos.pdf. For more details please refer to the project page https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~rahul/projects/pwtypos.html.
- Install
pwmodel
from here
$ pip install git+https://github.com/rchatterjee/pwmodels.git
This should install all the dependencies, if not, you may have to
install python-Levenshtein
.
$ pip install python-Levenshtein
$ pip install git+https://github.com/rchatterjee/mistypography.git
To allow online typo correction, a set of corrected version of the
mistyped password is created, and then each of them is tested against
the real password hash. This code only generates the possible set of
corrections (a.k.a. ball). The simplest way to do this is to use one
of the built-in checkers (BUILT_IN_CHECKERS
) in
typofixer/checker.py
file. Descriptions of these checkers is given
in the checker.py
file.
You can also instantiate your own Checker
. To instanticate a
checker we need two arguments, first, a set of correctors which you
can see the names given in common.py, and second, a policy number
which will tune the checker to use one of the given policies (ChkAll,
ChkBl etc.).
Note, the checker needs the data
directory to be in the same
folder. You can move the data
directory and change path
DATA_DIR_PATH
in common.py
accordingly.

>>> from typofixer.checker import BUILT_IN_CHECKERS
>>> chk = BUILT_IN_CHECKERS['ChkAllTop3']
>>> chk = BUILT_IN_CHECKERS['ChkAllTop3']
>>> chk.check('password')
set(['passwor', 'Password', 'PASSWORD', 'password'])
>>> chk_bl = BUILT_IN_CHECKERS['ChkBlTop3']
>>> chk_bl.check('password')
set(['passwor', 'password'])
>>> >>> chk_all = BUILT_IN_CHECKERS['ChkAllTop5']
>>> chk_all.check('password1')
set(['assword1', 'PASSWORD1', 'Password1', 'password!', 'password', 'password1'])
