Until now I've seen some file formats very similar (I don't remember the exact extension, they were files from Lord of Magna and Crimson Shroud), something like a magic word, a couple of integers about the size of the file, parts of the file, etc... a pointer table and then the data.
I've been able to know some of these facts just by making simple operations, guessing and by luck, but I assume this is not the proper method, so I was wondering what kind of tests and things do you guys do to get this kind of info about an unknown file format.
Thanks in advance.
