CHIRP 🎀 ⚙️ ❤️

An implementation for a CLI tool in C that uses my algorithm to validate passwords. 🎀 ⚙️ ❤️

ABOUT 📚

Since I've become a huge fan of C, I thought I'd reimplement a CLI tool that checks the validity of a password using an algorithm of my own design. This program is a reimplementation of this tool I wrote in Rust. This repository contains the source code to that alternative. Enjoy. ❤️

INSTALLATION 📥

Make sure you have the following tools installed and available as commands from a terminal session:

• Git
• The GNU C Compiler
• Make
• Automake
• Autoconf
• Libtool

To install Chirp, follow these steps:

• 1.) Download the utility's source code:

git clone https://github.com/angeldollface/chirp.git

• 2.) Change into the source code's root directory:

cd chirp

• 3.) Compile Chirp:

make

• 4.) Move the resulting binary chirp to a location that is on your path.
