Is your password safe?

[Visual Basic Matt]

I was board so I made this password checker. It checks the quality of your password and checks to see if you password is on a list of passwords used in a password cracker. Many of you will probably be wondering if it is just a scam for your password and I can assure you its not. This is the vb section so the source is also included.
Enjoy!

Needs a bit of work, perhaps check for a pattern rather then length.

Yeah as Jazz mentioned you could check for some other things like:

1) The same character more than once consecutively is less secure. (ex: finding 'aaa' would not be a very secure part of a password.
2) Consecutive characters that are one ASCII value away from each other is generally less secure (ex: 'b' followed by 'a' or '3' followed by '4').
3) In addition to checking the length, it could also determine the percentage of your password's composition that pertains to letters, capital letters, numbers, and even special characters. A good distribution would lead to a more secure rating.
