Description of problem: If I enter password based on dictionary word, but shift my fingers on the keyboard by one row/column, the passwords are accepted as secure. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libpwquality-1.2.2-2.fc20.x86_64 cracklib-2.9.0-1.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (the base word is 'robustful') echo 'tpnidygi;' | pwscore echo 'eivyardyk' | pwscore echo '49g7w5r7o' | pwscore echo 'fl5jxgvj.' | pwscore echo 'fltjxgvj.' | pwscore Actual results: [root@localhost smoketest]# echo 'tpnidygi;' | pwscore 15 [root@localhost smoketest]# echo 'eivyardyk' | pwscore 12 [root@localhost smoketest]# echo '49g7w5r7o' | pwscore 21 [root@localhost smoketest]# echo 'fl5jxgvj.' | pwscore 27 [root@localhost smoketest]# echo 'fltjxgvj.' | pwscore 18 Expected results: Password quality check failed: The password fails the dictionary check - it is based on a dictionary word Additional info: Even if we assume that users pick from full set of options (wrap or no wrap in columns, wrap on number keys or wrap only on letters) it gives upper bound of 14 bits of guessing entropy. The most common shift left, shift right add about 1 bit of guessing entropy.
You again ignore the rule choice entropy.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=985364#c2 for discussion on choice entropy.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle. Changing version to '20'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora20
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This is a standard rule in John the Ripper, can you provide a reason for the "WONTFIX"?
Because the probability this will ever be implemented is very low.
