TrID File Identifier

[Mark0]

Maybe this could be useful for someone.

Cmd line version:

GUI (.NET) version:

TrID is a free tool designed to identify binary files regardeless of names/extensions. Instead, it use a library of XML definitions that points to recurring patterns for each "knowed" formats.

Actually, more than 600 file types are supported, as you can see here:
http://mark0.ngi.it/soft-trid-deflist.html

You could easyly build new defs for some file types you are familiar with. Simply point TrIDScan to a bunch of files of a specific type, and it will generate a newtype.trid.xml file. Rename it so something more meaningfull, edit the file to fill some description fileds, and you are done.
More details here:

If you send me the new defs, I will add them to the base library, and update the file types page giving you the proper credits.

Bye!
