Introducing PassMeRust: Advanced Password Strength Calculator in Rust

I started 2023 with a personal goal of learning Rust — not with a simple HelloWorld or TODO app, but with a challenge to solve a real problem.

🔐 Introducing PassMeRust — a Rust-based CLI tool for gauging password strength.

🎉 New Release Alert 🚀: v0.2.0-alpha https://github.com/dewan-ahmed/PassMeRust/releases/tag/v0.2.0-alpha

Highlights:

🎯 Entropy-Driven: Goes beyond length, factors in character diversity.

🎯 Smart Checks: Scans against known weak passwords and dictionaries.

🎯 Space Character Friendly: Ideal for passphrases (e.g., "correct horse battery staple").

I'd be thrilled if you could test it out. Looking forward to evolving this from a learning project into a reliable Rust tool for the developer community.
