d00d, you can do it on Windows, too!

Jesse Kornblum had a couple of interesting posts recently on his blog, both relating to ssdeep. Yes, Jesse, I found the ssdeep stuff to be more interesting than the cat stuff. Sorry! One post was about using ssdeep to discover code re-use by comparing files in directories, and the other one was about using ssdeep to tie a portion of a file to the original. Very cool stuff.

I've gotta say that ssdeep is one of the true innovations in incident response and computer forensics. This isn't a new/different implementation of something that's already there...this is truly something new.
