Package: ssdeep
Version: 2.2-1+b1
Severity: normal
Thanks for maintaining debian's ssdeep package.
I'm interested in using it on strings or small
files, and happened to notice that it produces no
output.
Here's how to duplicate:
$ echo -e "hello\nworld" > data1
$ cp data1 data2
$ echo 1 >> data2
$ ssdeep -b data1 > hash
$ ssdeep -bm hash data2
At least for me, the last line produces no output.
It occurs to me that ssdeep may only work on files
bigger than a certain size.
If this is so, then perhaps ssdeep's man page
should explain what the minimum size is.
Even better, enhance ssdeep to actually work with
small files or strings.
Thanks,
Kingsley
