How to validate .dun files in Python

Python
def is_dun(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid DUN by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x5B, 0x50, 0x68, 0x6F, 0x6E, 0x65, 0x5D])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(7) == signature

How to validate .dun files in Node.js

Node.js
function isDUN(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x5B, 0x50, 0x68, 0x6F, 0x6E, 0x65, 0x5D]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 7).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .dun files in Go

Go

    signature := []byte{0x5B, 0x50, 0x68, 0x6F, 0x6E, 0x65, 0x5D}
    if len(data) < 7 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:7], signature)
