pwned

A command-line tool for querying Troy Hunt's Have I been pwned? service using the hibp Node.js module.

Installation

Download and install Node.js, then install pwned globally using npm:

npm install pwned -g

Alternatively, you can run it on-demand using the npx package runner:

npx pwned

Protected Commands

On July 18th, 2019, the haveibeenpwned.com API moved several services behind authentication, requiring an API key. See Troy's blog post for rationale and a full explanation. In order to use some of pwned commands (e.g. ba, pa, and search), you will need to get an API key and run pwned apiKey to configure pwned. The other commands do not require an API key and you may use them without obtaining one.

  Description:  In October 2013, 153 million Adobe accounts were breached with each containing an internal ID, username, email, <em>encrypted</em> password and a password hint in plain text. The password cryptography was poorly done and <a rel="noopener" href="https://stricture-group.com/files/adobe-top100.txt">many were quickly resolved back to plain text</a>. The unencrypted hints also <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.troyhunt.com/2013/11/adobe-credentials-and-serious.html">disclosed much about the passwords</a> adding further to the risk that hundreds of millions of Adobe customers already faced.
