Entropy Analysis Architecture

The entropy analysis system provides sophisticated Shannon entropy-based detection of cryptographic secrets and anomalous data patterns in files.

Overview

This system implements empirically-validated entropy thresholds based on academic research to classify file types and detect suspicious content patterns.

Core Components

• Overview and Requirements: System requirements and PCI SSF compliance
• Architecture and Design Patterns: System architecture and design decisions
• Core Components Implementation: Service implementations

Configuration and Usage

• CLI and Configuration Examples: Command-line usage and configuration

PCI SSF Compliance

The entropy analysis system specifically addresses PCI SSF Requirement 2.3 regarding default authentication credentials and built-in accounts.

Research Foundation

The system is built on empirically-validated thresholds documented in our file entropy research.
