CYC file format:
If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the CYC files is as follows:
The CYC extension is quite commonly used. The file itself includes many different file formats. However, the following two file formats are common:
- 10% of all CYC files start with the magic bytes C1 3B 11 C1 3E C1 40 02, which are always the first bytes of this file format. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. CYC files are between 27 KB and 94 KB in size. It is a modern file type. A usual file name is cycle_20180601.cyc.
- 10% of all CYC files store the data in the config file format. A configuration file is used by computer software to store settings. It consists of a text-based content with a structure and syntax comprising key–value pairs for properties, and sections that organize the properties. These files are text files, so they contain words and text. CYC files are between 450 bytes and 700 bytes in size. The files contain the following words: Duration=00:00:00, EmuMode=FULL, Name, Opcode=HEADER, [EstTime], [Properties], Comment=, LowBlock=AUTO, Wait=YES, LidTemp=105.0, DWS-ability=0x00000001, Control, TempMode=STANDARD and TempMode=FAST. These files can be linked to trap.
All other CYC files (80%) have different formats, often e.g. XML, BDEJJ, AABOI and xIu. Files like these are sometimes linked to essai, mode, cycles, decay, manual, perforation, sinumeriksl, edge or nail.
