Description
What type of file would you like magika to detect?
- All possible variants of encrypted archives (zip, 7zip, rar, etc.)
What software can create/open these files?
Examples:
- zip, 7zip, winrar etc.
Where can these files be found?
- Create an encrypted archive yourself using the programs listed above
If possible, please provide a specification for this file type.
- I can suggest a wiki page with a table of supported formats https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archive_formats#Containers_and_compression
