Understanding File Entropy
What is Entropy?
Entropy measures the randomness or unpredictability of data. Higher entropy (closer to 8 bits/byte) indicates more random data, while lower entropy suggests more predictable patterns.
High Entropy Files
- • Encrypted files
- • Compressed archives
- • Random data
- • Media files (video, audio)
Low Entropy Files
- • Plain text documents
- • Source code
- • Structured data (CSV, XML)
- • Uncompressed images
