Samsung Note (SSP) is a proprietary document format developed and maintained by Samsung Electronics for its mobile and desktop note-taking applications. It primarily serves to store handwritten notes, digital sketches, and embedded multimedia content created within the S Note and Samsung Notes software ecosystems. As a legacy format utilized by older iterations of Samsung's productivity suite, it has largely been superseded by newer standards such as the SDOC and SDOCX extensions.

Validation Code

How to validate .ssp files in Python

Python
def is_ssp(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid SSP by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x53, 0x4D, 0x53, 0x4E, 0x46, 0x32, 0x30, 0x30])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(8) == signature

How to validate .ssp files in Node.js

Node.js
function isSSP(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x53, 0x4D, 0x53, 0x4E, 0x46, 0x32, 0x30, 0x30]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 8).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .ssp files in Go

Go
func IsSSP(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x53, 0x4D, 0x53, 0x4E, 0x46, 0x32, 0x30, 0x30}
    if len(data) < 8 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:8], signature)
}
