Inspiration
The team I was on at Citrus Hack 2016 worked on a cyber security hack called Tru Pen. I thought I could do another cyber security hack.
What it does
KeyLock protects against password cracking and even other people that know your passwords.
How I built it
I used Python and the curses library. All the calculations are done with simple math, there is on machine learning (as much as that excites everyone).
Challenges I ran into
Picking a library took 2 hours. I underestimated how long it would take to easily add new users and retrieve old ones from files, and a majority of the code I wrote is for that. A lot of code is not used.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
It works!
What I learned
Pick a library and design better software to save pain.
What's next for KeyLock
I'll finish it and add machine learning one day.
