Bernhard Amann commented on BIT-1143:
-------------------------------------
Just to chime in - in my experience, the more obscure mime types in libmagic
are not always that helpful. Everytime I have gotten a really obscure result,
it has been a misidentification...
> Investigate replacing libmagic w/ signatures for file identificaiton

> Key: BIT-1143
> URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1143
> Project: Bro Issue Tracker
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Bro
> Affects Versions: git/master
> Reporter: Jon Siwek
> Assignee: Jon Siwek
> Fix For: 2.3
>
>
> I think it makes sense to try to make the switch from libmagic to using Bro's
> own signature engine for file identification before the next release. Don't
> want people getting used to magic file format for their own custom file
> identification rules.
