[SLUG] File format...

2006-05-06 Thread Peter Chubb


I have some old files, that are either encrypted or compressed or
both...  But I can't remember what command I used to create them (it
was more than five years ago).

file just says they're data; but all have the first eight bytes as:
 0x37 0xe4 0x53 0x96 0xc9 0xdb 0xd6 0x07
after that they differ.

Does anyone out there recognise this `magic number' ?

try the file-command. this will hopefully give you some information
about the format.

$ file xyz

I repeat:  file just says they're data.

oh, sorry. its too early in the afternoon to think clearly. :)


but googling for the exact string returns

https://openib.org/svn/tags/infinicon-latest-pre2.6/ALL_HOST/MakeTools/zisofs-tools/iso9660.c

that leads me to the conclusion that it is possibly a zisofs-image.

br, gottfried

Interesting and thankyou.  Looks like what I have is a directory tree
from a zisofs image.  Each file in the tree has that magic number
(not the whole image)
