👋 Introduction
HaveIBeenPwned-Local is a Qt GUI application to check passwords against a locally stored HaveIBeenPwned SQLite Database.
This project is developed with Qt 6.9.3.
This application can also convert a NTLM-hash text file to a SQLite database by running: hibp2sqlite.
To obtain the NTLM-hash text file, use PwnedPasswordsDownloader from HaveIBeenPwned.
Install PwnedPasswordsDownloader by following the instructions described on the link above.
Then, download all NTLM hashes to a single txt file called pwnedpasswords_ntlm.txt
haveibeenpwned-downloader.exe -n pwnedpasswords_ntlmFile -> Database -> Convert starts a “Text to SQLite” conversion process with hibp2sqlite.
Make sure there is enough free space on your drive since this file is at the time of writing ~70 GB. The conversion to SQLite with hibp2sqlite takes another ~180 GB for the SQLite database file. Please note that the conversion process takes a couple of hours, so grab a cup of coffee ☕
Credits to the author of this article since it gave me the idea to create this tool.
