BLACK format details:
A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our analysis of the BLACK files produces the following result:
The BLACK file extension is rather rarely used and is mainly used by one program with a specific format. The two most common formats are as follows:
- 85% of all BLACK files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "1E F1 AC B1 01 00" at the beginning. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. The average file size is 49 KB with most files being between 2 KB and 210 KB in size. This file type is based on cutting-edge technology. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as name, mesh, model, EveChildContainer, objects, description, ship, effect, EveSOFDataHull, category and geometryResFilePath. Files like these are about orede, wreck, amarr, terrestrial, cloud, angt and drdn.
All other BLACK files (15%) have no consistent format. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your BLACK file!
