Self-host Have I Been Pwned Passwords

Tool for importing the Have I Been Pwned Passwords list into a local Jetbrain Xodus database. Java library for querying the database.

Prerequisites

  • Sufficient drive storage. About 57GB during import, 24GB for normal operation.

Import

  1. Download Java 17 or newer. JRE is sufficient

  2. Download the Pwned Passwords. Either use the official downloader or my downloader written in Go. The importer expects the hashes in individual files.

  3. Download importer

  4. Run the import tool. Point it to the directory that contains the downloaded hash files
    java -jar hibp-passwords-importer.jar import <hashesdir> <database_directory_name>

Query

Library

Add library to your project.

<!-- Maven -->
<dependency>
   <groupId>ch.rasc.hibppasswords</groupId>
   <artifactId>query</artifactId>
   <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>
// Gradle
dependencies {
    compile 'ch.rasc.hibppasswords:query:1.0.0'
}

An application can query the database with a plain text password or SHA-1 hash. Both methods return either how many times a string or SHA-1 hash appears in the data set, or null if the given password is not found.

haveIBeenPwnedRange implements a k-Anonymity model that supports searching with a partial hash:
https://haveibeenpwned.com/API/v2#SearchingPwnedPasswordsByRange

import ch.rasc.hibppasswords.query.HibpPasswordsQuery;
import ch.rasc.hibppasswords.query.RangeQueryResult;
import java.nio.file.Path;

Path db = Paths.get("..."); // Path to local database
Integer count = HibpPasswordsQuery.haveIBeenPwnedPlain(db, "123456");
count = HibpPasswordsQuery.haveIBeenPwnedSha1(db, "FFFFFFBFAD0B653BDAC698485C6D105F3C3682B2");

List<RangeQueryResult> result = HibpPasswordsQuery.haveIBeenPwnedRange(db, "FFFFF");

These three methods open and close the database for each call. To speed up queries, an application can instantiate the Xodus environment once and pass it as the first argument.

import jetbrains.exodus.env.Environment;
import jetbrains.exodus.env.Environments;

Path db = Paths.get("..."); // Path to local database

try (Environment environment = Environments.newInstance(db.toFile())) {
  Integer count = HibpPasswordsQuery.haveIBeenPwnedPlain(environment, "123456");
  count = HibpPasswordsQuery.haveIBeenPwnedSha1(environment, "FFFFFFBFAD0B653BDAC698485C6D105F3C3682B2");

  List<RangeQueryResult> result = HibpPasswordsQuery.haveIBeenPwnedRange(environment, "FFFFF");
}

See Spring Boot example

Command Line

The local database can be queried with the import tool.

  • With plain text password:
    java -jar hibp-passwords-importer.jar query-plain 123456 <path_to_database>

  • With SHA1 hash:
    java -jar hibp-passwords-importer.jar query-sha1 FFFFFFFEE791CBAC0F6305CAF0CEE06BBE131160 <path_to_database>
