Similar Buffers detector

This is a library to detect similarities between buffers.

Given two buffers, a and b, the library will return a list of statistics about the similarity between the two buffers.

Design

The library is designed to be modular and extensible (following the OCP). The main components are:

• Statistic: A statistic is the interface that receives two buffers and computes a single statistic
• SimilarBufferDetector: The main class that receives a list of statistics. It is modeled as a Rules Engine.
