Loading README +12 −18 Original line number Diff line number Diff line libdisorder: entropy measurement $Id$ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The libdisorder project is a simple C library for entropy measurement of byte streams and other data. This is a readme file. See The homepage is: http://libdisorder.freshdefense.net/ http://libdisorder.freshdefense.net for more information. You can also retrieve the code from: libdisorder is a small, simple C library for use by programmers in other programs. There is a small test program included that opens /dev/urandom and calls libdisorder in the `test/' directory. There is also a command-line tool, `ropy' in the `tool/' directory for reporting on the entropy of normal files. http://code.dyne.org/?r=libdisorder You will probably want to pipe the output of libdisorder to some other math analysis or graphing environment (e.g., gnuplot). The library's primary function reports entropy in bits: essentially, this is the number of bits necessary to encode the actual level of information contained in the data passed to the library: it is the theoretical maximum amount of compression possible. No newline at end of file Plans include adding new entropy measurement functions as well as a module for supporting the parsing or chunking of data format tokens (for example, this mechanism would support measuring the entropy of an HTML document in terms of the tags it uses, where each tag is considered a "token"). This mechanism can be extended to any structured data format: files, network protocols, etc. No newline at end of file CONTRIBUTORS→code/CONTRIBUTORS +0 −0 File moved.
