It depends upon what you are trying to do. If you are trying to identify file types, a tool which I have looked into and tested is File Investigator by Robware http://www.robware.com/. There are also a number of other utilities out there which use extension analysis. File Investigator looks into the file itself and attempts to identify the file. Also Encase has some functionality with regard to file identification as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred Mobach" <fredat_private> To: "Ricci Ieong" <ricciat_private> Cc: <forensicsat_private> Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2002 2:02 PM Subject: Re: Any Win32 version of "file"? > Ricci Ieong wrote: > > > > In unix system, there is a tool -- file, which can be used for identifying > > the version and type of file. > > > > Do you know is there any win32 version of this tool?
