Helping Troy Hunt for fun and profit

Hi everyone,  I’m a huge fan of the security expert Troy Hunt and of his incredible “free!” service haveibeenpwned.com (if you don’t know it, please use it now! to test if your email accounts are compromised ! ).

Now Troy has created a contest where you can actually win a shiny Lenovo laptop, if you create something “new” that can help people to be more aware of the security risks related to pwned accounts.

I decided to participate and my idea is the following, helping all the people that have gmail (and Hotmail/outlook/office 365 in alpha version!) accounts to verify if their friends, colleagues and family members have their email accounts compromised.

I uploaded the code and executables here and I strongly suggest you to read ENTIRELY the readme instructions to understand how the tool works, what are expected results and what you can do.

Regardless if I win the laptop or not, I already won because I was able, thanks to this tool, to alert my wife and some of my friends of the danger and to have the right “push” to convince them to setup two-factor authentication.

If you want to donate , for this effort please donate directly to Troy here, he deserves a good beer !
