NAME

       pw-inspector - A tool to reduce the password list

SYNOPSIS

       pw-inspector [-i FILE] [-o FILE] [-m MINLEN] [-M MAXLEN] [-c MINSETS] -l -u -n -p -s

DESCRIPTION

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