       | "The most common form of authentication is the combination of a
       | username and a password or passphrase. If both match values
       | stored within a locally stored table, the user is authenticated
       | for a connection. Password strength is a measure of the
       | difficulty involved in guessing or breaking the password through
       | cryptographic techniques or library-based automated testing of
       | alternate values.
       | 
       | A weak password might be very short or only use alphanumberic
       | characters, making decryption simple. A weak password can also be
       | one that is easily guessed by someone profiling the user, such as
       | a birthday, nickname, address, name of a pet or relative, or a
       | common word such as God, love, money or password.
       | 
       | That is why CUPP was born, and it can be used in situations like
       | legal penetration tests or forensic crime investigations."

       | My Rust version:
       | 
       | - 0,000000769s/word
       | 
       | The original Python version:
       | 
       | - 0,000005652s/word
