技术总结|十分钟抓包逆向分析 `Claude-Code`

Information theory underlies the design of codes. Claude Shannon probably started the field with a seminal article (1948), in which he defined a measure of information: the entropy. In this chapter, we introduce essential concepts in information theory: entropy, optimal coding, cross entropy, and perplexity. Entropy is a very versatile measure of the average information content of symbol sequences and we will explore how it can help us design efficient encodings.
