Introduction¶
Overview¶
This package is a Python wrapper for ssdeep by Jesse Kornblum, which is a library for computing Context Triggered Piecewise Hashes (CTPH).
Installation¶
$ pip install pyssdeep
Usage¶
Get a fuzzy hash value for a string:
import pyssdeep
try:
result = pyssdeep.get_hash_buffer(
'The string for which you want to calculate a fuzzy hash'
)
escept pyssdeep.FuzzyHashError as err:
print(err)
except TypeError as err:
print(err)
print('The fuzzy hash value is {}'.format(result))
Get a fuzzy hash value for a file:
import pyssdeep
try:
result = pyssdeep.get_hash_file('e:/file.txt')
escept pyssdeep.FuzzyHashError as err:
print(err)
except IOError as err:
print(err)
print('The fuzzy hash value is {}'.format(result))
Get a fuzzy hash value for a file (using the pep 452 API):
import pyssdeep
buffer_size = 1024
fuzzy_hash_obj = pyssdeep.new()
with open('e:/file.txt', 'rb') as file:
buffer = file.read(buffer_size)
while len(buffer) > 0:
fuzzy_hash_obj.update(buffer)
buffer = file.read(buffer_size)
result = fuzzy_hash_obj.digest()
