How to validate .sis files in Python

Python
def is_sis(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid SIS by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x10, 0x00, 0x04, 0x19])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(4) == signature

How to validate .sis files in Node.js

Node.js
function isSIS(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x10, 0x00, 0x04, 0x19]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 4).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .sis files in Go

Go
func IsSIS(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x10, 0x00, 0x04, 0x19}
    if len(data) < 4 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:4], signature)
}

What are the magic bytes for .sis files?

The magic bytes for SIS files are 10 00 04 19 at byte offset 8. These bytes uniquely identify the file format regardless of the file extension.

How do I validate a .sis file?

To validate a .sis file, read the first bytes of the file and compare them against the known magic bytes (10 00 04 19) at offset 8. This is more reliable than checking the file extension alone, as extensions can be renamed.

What is the MIME type for .sis files?

The primary MIME type for .sis files is application/vnd.symbian.install.
