Identification
More research needed.
IDArc interprets the first 8 bytes of a file as four 16-bit little-endian integers, adds them together, and identifies it as oPAQue if the low 16 bits of the sum equals 0xaaaa
.
oPAQue files have been observed to start with a0 38 2d 27 26 8c b7 be
, which is consistent with that algorithm (sums to 0x1aaaa
).
But this website reports bc 47 ce 93 40 11 e5 bd
, which does not quite work -- it sums to 0x1aaaf
.
