A tiny CLI that computes Shannon entropy (bits/byte) for files and data streams.
Measure how random a file is to detect compression, encryption, or low-entropy data.
entroper [options]
- Measure a file:
- entroper file.bin
0 = no variability — 8 = max randomness per byte. Values >= ~7.5 usually indicate compressed/encrypted data.
Open issues, fork, make a branch, add tests/docs, and send a PR.
