## 📦 Installation

### From PyPI (when published)

```bash
pip install markov-passgen
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/markmysler/markov-passgen.git
cd markov-passgen
pip install -e .
```

### Development Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/markmysler/markov-passgen.git
cd markov-passgen
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Password Generation

```python
from markov_passgen.core import CorpusLoader, NGramBuilder, PasswordGenerator

# Load a text corpus
loader = CorpusLoader("path/to/corpus.txt")
text = loader.load()

# Build a Markov model
builder = NGramBuilder(ngram_size=3)
model = builder.build_model(text)

# Generate passwords
generator = PasswordGenerator(model, min_length=8, max_length=16)
passwords = generator.generate(count=10)

for password in passwords:
    print(password)
```

### Using the CLI

Generate 20 passwords from a corpus:

```bash
markov-passgen generate --corpus passwords.txt --count 20 --min-length 10 --max-length 16
```

Apply filters and transformations:

```bash
markov-passgen generate \
    --corpus passwords.txt \
    --count 50 \
    --min-length 12 \
    --require-digit \
    --require-special \
    --min-entropy 40 \
    --transform leetspeak \
    --output wordlist.txt
```

Use multiple corpora with weights:

```bash
markov-passgen generate \
    --corpus-list common_passwords.txt \
    --corpus-list english_words.txt \
    --corpus-list usernames.txt \
    --corpus-weights "0.5,0.3,0.2" \
    --count 100
```

Visualize password characteristics:

```bash
markov-passgen visualize-passwords \
    --wordlist generated.txt \
    --entropy-dist entropy.png \
    --length-dist length.png
```

## 📖 Usage Examples

### Advanced Filtering

```python
from markov_passgen.filters import (
    LengthFilter,
    CharacterSetFilter,
    EntropyFilter,
    FilterChain
)
from markov_passgen.core import EntropyCalculator

# Create filter chain
filters = FilterChain([
    LengthFilter(min_length=12, max_length=20),
    CharacterSetFilter(require_digit=True, require_special=True),
    EntropyFilter(min_entropy=50.0, entropy_calculator=EntropyCalculator())
])

# Apply filters during generation
generator = PasswordGenerator(model, min_length=12, max_length=20)
passwords = generator.generate_filtered(count=100, filter_chain=filters)
```

### Text Processing

```python
from markov_passgen.transformers import TextCleaner, CaseTransformer, CharacterTransformer

# Clean and normalize text
cleaner = TextCleaner(
    remove_punctuation=True,
    remove_digits=False,
    remove_whitespace=True,
    lowercase=True
)
cleaned_text = cleaner.clean(raw_text)

# Transform case patterns
case_transformer = CaseTransformer()
titled = case_transformer.transform(text, style="title")  # Title Case
camel = case_transformer.transform(text, style="camel")   # camelCase
snake = case_transformer.transform(text, style="snake")   # snake_case

# Character substitutions
char_transformer = CharacterTransformer()
char_transformer.add_rule("a", "@")
char_transformer.add_rule("e", "3")
transformed = char_transformer.transform("password")  # p@ssword -> p@ssw0rd
```

### Password Transformations

```python
from markov_passgen.transformers import (
    LeetSpeakTransformer,
    CaseVariationTransformer,
    SubstitutionTransformer,
    TransformerChain
)

# Leetspeak transformation
leet = LeetSpeakTransformer(probability=0.5)
leet_password = leet.transform("password")  # p@ssw0rd

# Case variations
case_var = CaseVariationTransformer()
varied = case_var.transform("password")  # PaSsWoRd

# Custom substitutions
sub = SubstitutionTransformer()
sub.add_rule("a", ["@", "4"])
sub.add_rule("o", ["0"])
substituted = sub.transform("password")

# Chain multiple transformers
chain = TransformerChain([leet, case_var, sub])
result = chain.transform("password")
```

### Multi-Corpus Analysis

```python
from markov_passgen.core import MultiCorpusManager

# Create manager with multiple corpora
manager = MultiCorpusManager(ngram_size=3)
manager.add_corpus("common_passwords.txt", weight=0.5)
manager.add_corpus("english_words.txt", weight=0.3)
manager.add_corpus("usernames.txt", weight=0.2)

# Build merged model
merged_model = manager.build_merged_model()

# Generate passwords from merged model
generator = PasswordGenerator(merged_model, min_length=10, max_length=16)
passwords = generator.generate(count=50)

# Get corpus statistics
stats = manager.get_corpus_stats()
for stat in stats:
    print(f"{stat['name']}: {stat['char_count']} chars, weight={stat['weight']}")
```

### Visualization and Analysis

```python
from markov_passgen.visualization import NGramVisualizer
from markov_passgen.core import EntropyCalculator

# Create visualizer
viz = NGramVisualizer(style="seaborn-v0_8-darkgrid")

# Plot n-gram frequencies
viz.plot_ngram_frequencies(model, top_n=20, output_path="ngram_freq.png")

# Plot password entropy distribution
entropy_calc = EntropyCalculator()
viz.plot_entropy_distribution(
    passwords,
    entropy_calc,
    bins=30,
    output_path="entropy_dist.png"
)

# Plot length distribution
viz.plot_length_distribution(passwords, bins=20, output_path="length_dist.png")

# Plot character frequency
viz.plot_character_distribution(text, top_n=30, output_path="char_freq.png")

# Compare multiple corpora
viz.plot_corpus_comparison(corpus_stats, output_path="corpus_comparison.png")

# Cleanup
viz.close_all()
```

## 🔐 Security Considerations

**Important**: This tool is designed for **security research and testing purposes only**. Generated passwords should be used in controlled environments for:

- Password strength analysis
- Penetration testing with proper authorization
- Security research and academic studies
- Training machine learning models for password security

**Do NOT use** generated passwords for:
- Actual user accounts or systems
- Production environments
- Unauthorized access attempts

Generated passwords may contain patterns from source corpora and should not be considered cryptographically secure.
