As society becomes more reliant on digital technology, there's an ever-growing necessity for strong cybersecurity measures. One integral aspect of cybersecurity is creating secure passcodes. Like a thrilling cybersecurity challenge, you are tasked to guess a mystery passcode under certain constraints. In this cybersecurity challenge, you're given six attempts to figure out a 5-character passcode. Each guess provides information about how the characters in your guess relate to the mystery passcode. Each character in your guess is tagged as either a correct character, a used character, or an unused character. Though secure passcodes should contain letters, symbols, and numbers, for simplicity, assume that all passcodes are words. Consider, for instance, if the mystery passcode was "KRYPT", but your guess was "TRACE", the labeling would be as follows: Tused, R correct, A unused, C used, and E unused. This information guides your next guess, allowing you to refine the potential passcode after each attempt. Our primary class, WordLL, will be a non-graphical text-based utility. Simple interfaces for WordLL are provided in WordLLExamples. Below is an example run of WordLLExamples in action where bold passcodes are guesses entered by keyboard, and lines starting with "Word:" show a history of results. Note that characters are decorated/surrounded with either "-", "+", or "!" which correspond to unused, used, and correct. In a GUI-based system, unused characters might be displayed as grey(-), used are yellow(+), and correct are green(!). enter a word (XX to stop): BEAR Word: B- +E+ -A- +R+ enter a word (XX to stop): REJECT Word: +R+ +E+ -J- !E! -C- -T Word: B- +E+ -A- +R+ enter a word (XX to stop): SHORE Word: -S- -H- +0+ +R+ +E+ Word: +R+ +E+ -J- !E! -C- -T As society becomes more reliant on digital technology, there's an ever-growing necessity for strong cybersecurity measures.
