ssdeep_ruby provides ruby bindings for ssdeep, a library for computing fuzzy hashes on strings and files.

Requirements
============

You will need to download ssdeep (tested with 2.1 and 2.5) from http://ssdeep.sourceforge.net/ and then configure and make as usual.

Usage
=====

ssdeep_ruby exposed two instance methods on String and one instance method on File, which can be used as follows:

  >> "one two".fuzzy_hash
  => "3:7n:7"

  >> File.read("README").fuzzy_compare("one two")
  => 0
  >> File.read("README").fuzzy_compare(File.read("README"))
  => 100

  >> File.new("README").fuzzy_hash
  => "12:huqlnQNwzCHX1Q2Ev+ihQImWYHwG5fyYoGaZ0NHV4qS49CZiEdYn:B2a1GZQGgYoGaZ0NK4qBYn"
