Package name : bytes-circle Version : 2.2-2 Upstream Author : "Roberto S. Galende" <roberto.s.gale...@gmail.com> URL : https://circulosmeos.wordpress.com/2015/10/10/statistics-circle-for-analysing-byte-entropy-in-files/ License : GPL 3 Programming Lang: C Description : Show byte statistics as an ascii circle graph bytes-circle is a program that shows statistics about bytes contained in a file as an ascii circle graph of deviations from mean in sigma increments. By default, byte 0 is at the center of the circle and next bytes until 256 are situated counterclockwise around the center. bytes-circle expects a colour terminal, though other options are available. The ascii art produced uses this char array to represent increment values of sigma from the statistic's mean: . , - ~ + * o O # @ This ranges from zero (.) on the left, to 9*sigma (@) on the right. If value is zero or over the mean the char is printed green. If it is below the mean, it's printed red. A (blue) '=' char represents a byte value that doesn't appear in the file. The program can be useful for statistically analyze the content of files in a glimpse: text files are shown as a green centered crown, compressed and encrypted files should be shown as equally distributed variations with a very low CV (sigma/mean), and other types of files can be classified between these two categories depending on their ascii vs binary content, which can be useful to quickly determine how information is stored inside them (redis db, mmedia files, etc). Developers and data analysts could benefit from 'bytes-circle'. 2016-06-18 14:29 GMT+02:00 Roberto S.
