pwncheck
Pwncheck is an efficient, offline Active Directory password auditing tool designed to identify compromised, weak, or shared passwords within an organization's network. Utilizing a comprehensive collection of breached passwords, including data from the HaveIBeenPwned (HIBP) database by Troy Hunt, Pwncheck enables administrators to quickly detect users employing compromised credentials. The tool operates without installation, requiring only a machine with connectivity to a domain controller, and delivers comprehensive results in under three minutes. Key features include the detection of blank passwords, identification of shared passwords among users, and the ability to generate detailed reports suitable for presentation to senior management and auditors. By operating entirely offline, Pwncheck mitigates legal and security concerns associated with storing breached database data on corporate networks, ensuring user hashes and passwords remain secure.

Specops Password Policy
Get serious about password security. Enforce compliance requirements, block compromised passwords, and help users create stronger passwords in Active Directory with dynamic, informative client feedback. Specops Password Policy extends the functionality of Group Policy, and simplifies the management of fine-grained password policies. The solution can target any GPO level, group, user, or computer with dictionary and passphrase settings. Need a comprehensive list of vulnerable passwords to prevent dictionary attacks? Our password policy tool gives you many options. You can use a password dictionary, a file containing commonly used and/or compromised passwords, to prevent users from creating passwords susceptible to dictionary attacks. During a password change in Active Directory, the password check rejects any passwords found in the dictionary. Create a custom dictionary containing potential passwords relevant to your organization, including company name, location, services, and more.
