I am thinking about formats without any magic numbers - format that beginning with first packet, like binary Logcat/Logger (https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8279) or raw media file like file contains only SBC frames (see "libsbc"), etc (formats without header). And fact that Wireshark do not only check magic bytes, but try all open routine is great feature (if magic bytes is ok, but payload is not) -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michał Łabędzki, Software Engineer Tieto Corporation Product Development Services http://www.tieto.com / http://www.tieto.pl --- ASCII: Michal Labedzki location: Swobodna 1 Street, 50-088 Wrocław, Poland room: 5.01 (desk next to 5.08) --- Please note: The information contained in this message may be legally privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
