   Look at the sourcecode.  There's a small dictionary included... the most   
   commonly used by clueless users.   
      
   Otherwise, it's simply a check of how long it would take to hash crack the   
   password.  In other words, if it's an average alphanumeric password of 7-8   
   characters, it would take almost no time at all.  However, a longer password   
   with nonalphanumeric characters included dramatically increases the time to   
   break.
