I can't directly contribute to ssdeep because I saw the non-free source code of edit_dist.c. So I decided to tweet this problem.
After I tweeted this problem on Twitter (in Japanese), @kikairoya (who has not seen the source code of ssdeep and/or trn) wrote a program to compute ssdeep version of Levenshtein distance. He says he licenses the source code under the terms of Boost Software License, version 1.0 (compatible with GPLv2+). I didn't even tell him the interface for ssdeep so slight modification will be needed. https://gist.github.com/kikairoya/58f996c36210ffc31e79 Anyway, is there any reason to make replacement cost in the ssdeep version of edit_dist.c 3? I think a replacement will always have a cost of 2 (because this can be achieved by character removal and insertion).
