Description-en: compare similar files using fuzzy hashing
The Trend Micro Locality Sensitive Hash is a fuzzy hash algorithm that can be
used to compare similar but not identical files.
.
Identifying near duplicates and similar files is known to be useful to
identify malware samples with similar binary file structure, variants of spam
email, or backups with corrupted files.
.
This package contains the tlsh_unittest utility, a command-line tool to
generate TLSH hash values and compare TLSH hash values to determine
similar files.
