Deliberately bad software or bad design is not software gore, it must be something unintentional

I know regex!

This means:

  • Must not contain whitespace

  • Must contain lowercase latin letter

  • Must contain uppercase latin letter

  • Must contain a number

  • Must contain one of the symbols you'd normally be able to type on US keyboard !@#$%^&*()-=_+[\]{}|;:,./<>?

It is a cursed way to do validation, though.

Technically just needs a number or a special character, there's a | between the lookaheads for numbers and special characters.
