PEB (.peb)

.peb file signature | application/octet-stream

PEB is a proprietary file format used by Pebble software and maintained by its original developers. It is typically used for application data, configuration, or package resources within the associated program ecosystem. The format is generally considered safe to handle, although compatibility may be limited and files should be opened with the software that created them in older or archived installations.

How to validate .peb files in Python

Python
def is_peb(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid PEB by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x78, 0x56, 0x34])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(3) == signature

How to validate .peb files in Node.js

Node.js
function isPEB(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x78, 0x56, 0x34]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 3).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .peb files in Go

Go
func IsPEB(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x78, 0x56, 0x34}
    if len(data) < 3 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:3], signature)
}

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a .peb file?

A .peb file is identified by the magic bytes 78 56 34 at byte offset 0. PEB is a proprietary file format used by Pebble software and maintained by its original developers. It is typically used for application data, configuration, or package resources within the associated program ecosystem. The format is generally considered safe to handle, although compatibility may be limited and files should be opened with the software that created them in older or archived installations.

What are the magic bytes for .peb files?

The magic bytes for PEB files are 78 56 34 at byte offset 0. These bytes uniquely identify the file format regardless of the file extension.

How do I validate a .peb file?

To validate a .peb file, read the first bytes of the file and compare them against the known magic bytes (78 56 34) at offset 0. This is more reliable than checking the file extension alone, as extensions can be renamed.

What is the MIME type for .peb files?

There is no officially registered MIME type for .peb files. Systems typically use application/octet-stream as a generic fallback when handling this format.

Is it safe to open .peb files?

PEB (.peb) files are generally safe to open. They are classified as low risk because they primarily contain data rather than executable code. However, always ensure files come from a trusted source.
