How to validate .enc files in Python

Python 
def is_enc(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid ENC by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x00, 0x5C, 0x41, 0xB1, 0xFF])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(5) == signature

How to validate .enc files in Node.js

Node.js 
function isENC(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x00, 0x5C, 0x41, 0xB1, 0xFF]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 5).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .enc files in Go

Go 
func IsENC(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x00, 0x5C, 0x41, 0xB1, 0xFF}
    if len(data) < 5 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:5], signature)
}
