Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ.

So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below you will find our evaluation of the WZD files:
