What is an __INFO file?

__INFO files mostly belong to SQLite. __INFO files mainly come in two forms. The most common form is an SQLite database file that holds Telegram MTProto Proxy information. This file stores internal data used to manage proxy settings for secure connections.
Another form of __INFO files acts as a metadata file for directories, holding Telegram cloud file details. This file organizes information about directory contents for cloud storage.
To open the SQLite version, use a database browser. Visit SQLite for tools and more information. For the metadata version, a text editor or a specialized program such as ExifTool can be used.

SQLite Database Use: Stores Telegram proxy settings.
Metadata Use: Holds cloud file details in directories.

*.__INFO files primarily store information related to Telegram, often serving as configuration or metadata files. The most prevalent type, comprising 84% of observed instances, adopts an SQLite database structure and is associated with Telegram MTProto proxies. These files likely hold proxy server details, facilitating secure communication. Another variant, accounting for 9%, functions as metadata storage for Telegram cloud files, potentially containing directory structures, file attributes, and other relevant information. While less common, some *.__INFO files might also exist as plain text or other formats, serving diverse purposes within the Telegram ecosystem. This file format is classified as Configuration or Metadata.

__INFO file format details:

A file format defines how the data in the file is structured. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the __INFO files:

The __INFO file extension is not common and mainly uses a special format. The following file formats are most commonly found in __INFO files:

85% of all __INFO files start with the bytes -1 1, which are crucial for this file format. These files contain text and words, not binary data. The files are 23 bytes to 40 bytes in size, with a median of 23 bytes. The file type is relatively new. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as __data. The file name __data. is typical for these files. Such __INFO files store data about data.
7% of all __INFO files use the same file format, which have the signature 17. These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. Most of these files are 15 bytes to 24 bytes in size.
