I'll keep this post short. See the webpage for *lots* more detail. Please send
questions/comments/etc to me off-list, as this post [probably] has no reason to
become a thread. I'm posting this link to a couple lists, so if you are getting
this twice, I apologize.
I'm posting an application based on computational biology algorithms and
genetics research to help researchers looking for similarities among distinct
datasets/files/binaries (generally useful for signature development). The
program acquires common patterns from a number of different files, or inversely
(for false positive testing) finds patterns that do not exist among different
files. It can handle many files at the same time, and is faster than other
tools I've worked with that only partially do the same.
For a primer on the algorithms and to download the program, see the page this
is posted to at http://www.proventsure.com. Follow the link in the
middle/bottom of the page to "Research and Free Tools." The name of the
application is the Universal Pattern Searcher.
Hope it's as useful for you as it's been for us.
