This update of what-is-new-.py, my tool that reports what lines inside files are new (e.g., never seen before) has a new option: -a –action. It allows me to launch a command when something new is detected.

I use this for example to be alerted via TelegraM; More details in an upcoming blog post.

This is a small update: you can now select which hash algorithm to use for option -H by setting environment variable DSS_DEFAULT_HASH_ALGORITHMS.

And the statistics options (-a) also display a list of objects with streams.

This new version of byte-stats.py, my tool to generate statistics for (binary) data, comes with an update to report the longest:
