Educational Password Cracking Game?
Hello fellow computer scientists.
I'm teaching a class of 11 - 12 year old pupils a bit of basic password security. I want to play a game with them and have them each come up with passwords, while having a program test and break those passwords in real time.
The idea is to turn it into a bit of a game, and give them a practical demonstration of how various password security measures -- increased length and variety of input characters -- results in safer passwords.
Does anyone know of any such resources that safe for use for educational purposes? I could probably knock something up over the weekend but I'd rather spend my time doing something more relaxing.

Downspiral of tech
I sound like lunatic to myself, but I just keep thinking about the spiral of complexity into more "secure" systems. I just think about everyone having phone. Everyone needs one. survival depends on it. Try going without phone for a week and survive lol. What really fucking bothers me is this. My identity is tied to fucking device I dont own. You have phone. Cool, root it? Uh oh bank doesnt work, zero apps really that you need for your survival all stop working. Cool go forward. You have to fucking work to make money. Pay tax to work. You know order food? the shit you eat to survive? Fucking dependent on th app store. Oh app store is profitable shit? Yeah cause it takes 30% of every fucking transaction. So the restaraunt that fucking prepares my fucking food and the driver that delivers to me never see any fucking profit. it goes to google or apple. and you know the fucking food delivery app. yeah it takes its own cut. so everyone works, google/apple takes 30% before anyone else. yeah the bank/credit card company too. the people producing value are fucking taken advantage of. not by a little bit. literally raped in the fucking ass.

Is the best case here O?
Hi, still new to algorithm analysis and need some help confirming my answer or not.
I assumed that best case would be O(1) in this scenario if size of the array is either 0 or 1. But trying to review my answer with online resources, it say's that O(1) doesn't count here?
What is the definite answer here?
