You've created a script that implements the spamsum algorithm to generate ssdeep compatible hashes! With this, there are a few additional challenges to pursue.
First, we're providing six sample files, found in the previously mentioned test_data/ directory. These files are available to confirm you're getting the same hashes as those printed and to allow you to perform some additional testing. The file_1, file_2, and file_3 files are our originals, whereas the instances with an appended a are a modified version of the original. The accompanying README.md file contains a description of the alterations we performed, though in short, we have the following:
- file_1 with a relocation of some file content to a later portion of the file
- file_2 with an insertion in the early portion of the file
- file_3 with a removal of the start of the file
We encourage...
