+# Active Directory Password Filter
+The Lithnet Active Directory Password filter enhances the options available to an organization for protecting their accounts in Active Directory with strong passwords.
+
+We're firm believers that good password hygeine is essential in every organization, and it should not be a premium that you pay extra for.
+
+## Features
+* No internet access required
+* Group policy support
+* Supports checked passwords against a breached password list
+* Supports checking for banned words in passwords
+* Checks common character substitutions (eg P@ssw0rd is normalized to password before being checked against the banned word store)
+* Supports custom complexity password rules
+  * Minimum password length
+  * Length-based complexity rules (allow longer passwords to be less complex)
+  * Points-based complexity rules
+  * Regular expression matching
+* Full PowerShell support
+  * Managing the breached password and banned word stores. Add your own banned words and known breached passwords, as well as use popular databases such as the haveibeenpwned downloadable password list
+  * Testing passwords and existing hashes against the store
+  * Test your user's current passwords in AD against the banned password store
+
