# Data::Password::zxcvbn::Match::BruteForce(3pm)

special match class for brute-force guesses

## NAME

Data::Password::zxcvbn::Match::BruteForce - special match class for brute-force guesses

## VERSION

version 1.1.2

## DESCRIPTION

This class represents the guess that a certain substring of a password can't be guessed any other way than by going through all the characters combinations one by one.

This kind of matches is not generated by `"omnimatch"`: it's used internally by `"most_guessable_match_list"` to cover unmatched substrings, and as a fallback in the calculations.

## METHODS

### "estimate\_guesses"

The number of guesses is exponential on the length of the token.

### "new"

```
  my $match = Data::Password::zxcvbn::Match::BruteForce->new(
    password => $password,
    i => 2, j => 5,
  );
```

Returns a match object covering the substring of `$password` between the `"i"`th and `"j"`th character.

### "feedback\_warning"

### "feedback\_suggestions"

This class does not provide any feedback.
