File Headers for data carving

I was looking …

WHERE? ?

Or, in other words, is your Google broken? 😯

(first results in a two minutes search)

*.txt

You sure you want a file header for .txt files? roll

Have a look at http//www.garykessler.net/library/file_sigs.html
alternatively in a *nix installation have a look at the magic file usually found in /usr/share/misc/magic

Seriously makes you wonder about the rest of the investigation, when something this basic is asked.

I concur with the WHERE statement.
Also agree with Binary Bod FIRST hit,
