24 alternatives to Checking 320M passwords in milliseconds with serverless bloom filters

Using serverless functions to provide an API for checking potential passwords against an enormous corpus of passwords leaked from security breaches. - jthomas/serverless-pwned-passwords

This project demonstrates how to check 320 million passwords against a bloom filter using serverless architecture, completing the verification in milliseconds. It's designed for developers building password security… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    I’ve been experimenting with structured logic as a way to frame search spaces — not in an academic way, just as a personal project. I wanted to know: what happens if you initialize a brute-force run with a simple equality like xy = x / y? Not as a filter, just as a logical ignition point. I used AES-256-CBC encrypted files with UUID passwords and tested against a 1 million UUID space. It cracked it in under 40 seconds. Then I scaled it to a 1 billion UUID range, and it still found the key without issue. This isn’t a crypto tool, and I’m not trying to solve any cryptographic problems.…

    I built this after seeing multiple teams accidentally ship API keys in their frontend code. The problem: Modern web development moves fast. You're vibe-coding, shipping features, and suddenly your AWS keys are sitting in a tag visible to anyone who opens DevTools. I've personally witnessed this happen to at least 3-4 production apps in the past year alone. KeyLeak Detector runs through your site (headless browser + network interception) and checks for 50+ types of leaked secrets: AWS/Google keys, Stripe tokens, database connection strings, LLM API keys (OpenAI, Claude, etc.), JWT…

    This is an educational reference implementation showing how to build reasonably secure, standards-compliant authentication from first principles on Cloudflare Workers. Stack: Hono, Turso (libSQL), PBKDF2-SHA384 + normalization + common-password checks, JWT access + refresh tokens with revocation support, HTTP-only SameSite cookies, device tracking. It's deliberately minimal — no OAuth, no passkeys, no magic links, no rate limiting — because the goal is clarity and auditability. I wrote it mainly to deeply understand edge-runtime auth constraints and to have a clean Apache-2.0 example that…

    Hi HN, Bastion Enclave is an experiment in removing centralized trust from password management by eliminating server-side state entirely. Instead of storing an encrypted vault or syncing secrets through a backend, Bastion computes credentials deterministically on-the-fly using explicit cryptographic inputs. Given the same master entropy, service name, username, and version counter, the same password is reproduced across platforms. There is no account system, no database, and no persistent server storage — the server serves static code only. Password generation uses domain-separated salts and…

    Hey HN, I'm so excited to finally share with you what I've been working on recently. One month ago I asked my audience what they wanted to learn about Websites, APIs and Servers security [0]. From the feedback, I've identified a few recurring pain points that I've started to address (and many more) in this new book. From theory to practice, you will learn how low-level network and security protocols work. How to configure Cloudflare to secure and scale your web applications. How to create serverless applications and which database to chose with serverless functions. How to optimize your…

    Recently I became interested in knowing whether the passwords I used were in the list of breached passwords. One way to find out is to send your password to the link here https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords. However, while the owner of that website is a well respected security researcher, I still don't think it's wise to send my password to another website. So I downloaded the 24gb file, hashed my password and grepped the file for it. That unfortunately took a long time and I realized this was the perfect opportunity to use a BloomFilter and test the inclusion of a password…
