Überblick
Pseudorandom number sequence test program
Verlauf
ent is John Walker's command-line program for applying statistical tests to byte streams, mainly to inspect pseudorandom number generators, compression output, encrypted data, and other files where information density matters.
The official Fourmilab page describes ent as a pseudorandom number sequence test program that reads a file or standard input and reports entropy, optimum compression estimate, chi-square distribution, arithmetic mean, Monte Carlo value for pi, and serial correlation.
The page frames the tool around practical comparisons of generated data, including examples contrasting compressed files, Unix `rand()` output, an improved generator, and radioactive-decay random data from Fourmilab's HotBits service.
ent is a small but widely repackaged scientific CLI. The input metadata lists it in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, MacPorts, and Nix, reflecting its utility as a compact randomness and entropy smoke test in Unix-style workflows.
Users run `ent` on a file or pipe data to standard input, optionally using flags for byte/bit-oriented output, counts, folding, terse CSV-style output, or stdin handling. The program is commonly used to sanity-check random generators, compressed data, encrypted data, and test fixtures.
ent is package-nerd friendly because it is tiny, public-domain in Homebrew metadata, scriptable, and easy to compare across systems. It gives quick statistical signals without requiring a larger cryptography or statistics suite.
