Put .zip at the end of the filename

Install Gentoo

drop it on notepad or rename it zip. Depends on what it is. Post results.

Extensions are just a naming convention that indicate what type a file probably is. Open it in Notepad++ and see what it looks like.

is it CP

Will do.

I'll take a screenshot of the notepad before saving the .zip

lmao just run
file Open\ in\ 2018
oh wait you're on windows sorry.

No idea, I forgot where I even got the file.

DO NOT POST IT ON Sup Forums IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS

Op, it could be a few million in Bitcoin or something. Don't post it here

...

(you)

This is good advice. Just post the first four characters of the file if you can, those often compose a tag that indicates the type of file.

nice android browser

Well what was it fegget? If its a bitcoin wallet with 500 btc or something u gotta share w us

test

It was a bunch of Chinese characters and those boxes that show up when a computer isn't set to the right locale or something.

I'm opening in wordpad instead of notepad now, but my CPU is shit (3770k) and is taking forever to open a 400MB file as text.

add .exe to file and send it to your family members, ask them to open it.

GNU/Linux doesn't have this problem.

Wow what android launcher do you have that allows multitasking via a taskbar?

Install 7zip and open in with a right click

open in notepad++ OP

400MB? Then its probably not a text file. It doesnt have any images? Even with the formatting of a word document or pdf, it wont hit 400mb. Its something else. Think about how it came into existence on your desktop, it may clue you as to what it was supposed to do

Bahaha

Just try this op
>mark0.net/soft-tridnet-e.html

It's 4 years old, I have no idea.

Trying this.

[spoiler]I don't trust you.[/spoiler]

Didn't work.

>windows users don't know hot to open files
Gee, mark me surprised

Try the program the other user linked, it will tell you what the file is unless it's a truecrypt file or something
mark0.net/soft-tridnet-e.html

If you have linux you could just type
file FILENAME

and you would get the result

Open it in a hex editor and take a screenshot

ITT: it takes Sup Forums 2 hours to open a file with no extension on windows

Absolute state of winbabbies

OP did none of those . Its obviously a bait thread.

Did OP try this? Werkd for me when I was in a similar situation

I tried that. Went to all of the sub-folders and it didn't match anything. I think the file is a dud.

This is what it looks like in WordPad.

Try downloading mpv and dragging the file onto the pic related window.

Instantly crashed.

Looks like non-specific compressed and/or encrypted data without header from that. But wordpad fucks up binary files realy good, you still should try hexeditor.

Find the magic number, that will tell you what the file type is, go from there.

install a hex viewer and show us what the first few lines say
mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

Then there's a high chance that it isn't video.


Download a hex editor (HxD?) of some kind and post the very first page. Might have a header of some sorts.

What am I looking at?

checkfiletype.com/

inb4 its encrypted cp and OP has no idea

That's entirely possible. I built a new computer so I'm not worried if this file will brick my HDD somehow since I don't need it anymore.

Site timed out.

Mmm.

Nothing useful, sadly. There is no type-identifying data in there.

looking for a file header,
garykessler.net/library/file_sigs.html
can you do a bigger screen cap, like the complete first page of something

The site works fine. You must have a DNS problem or an Internet problem or a computer problem. Honestly I don't even know why you are on this board you should probably kill yourself your tech illiterate moron

Nothing catches. You can try compressing the file with 7zip or WinRar. If result will have almost the same size than you can be pretty sure its compressed/encrypted.

pastebin.com/9FsFGvUt

Nah, internet is fine. I think the file is just bugged and doesn't have a type.

so why has OP not uploaded said file while anons fuck around in a kali vm figuring out what it is?

not hm but it is 400 mb file, I just tested it myself with a video file around the same size and it timed out.

It's the same size, but I tried uncompressing with 7zip and winRAR and they both gave me errors.

See here
Because there are 70 billion bitcoins in said file.

Open it in browser ir paint
Or rename extensio To exe

share the file, upload it to mega

No clue about who put the file there?

nothing is jumping out at me sorry.

Install linux

linux.die.net/man/1/file

Uploading. 400MB could take a few minutes.

I downloaded it from somewhere around 4 years ago and I completely forget where I got it from.

based on the pastebin you posted, the file is either compressed or encrypted (this is suggested by relative entropy measurement). based on the header (or lack thereof), it isn't an image or any standard archival format. so it is probably encrypted.

im assuming this entire thread is bait, but hopefully this will stop anyone else wasting their time.

Did you deside by your self to wait 2018

That's really unfortunate. I'm putting it on mega right now if anyone else wants to try.

It's the original name of the file.

mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html

> but hopefully this will stop anyone else wasting their time.
You do realize that wasting time is the whole point of being here?

It's gonna be 400MB of furry porn.
Calling it.

Jokes on you, my time is worthless

I hope not.

The prompt window closes instantly when I run it. Very strange.

If you feel like wasting more time, it's ready.

>The prompt window closes instantly when I run it. Very strange.
It's a command line tool. You have to use it from the command line.

I already downloaded 10% and my download previewer already detected an anomaly in the shockwave flash.

Hey!

>command line tool
>400 mb
because those are common. Good thinking user

> inb4 cheese pizza

You might have a virus dude. It's literally 48K.

Update me on your findings.

Its exactly 400 MB (419430400) so it either cropeed or padded or genereated.

400 MiB*

Fuck off. Only people who are too stupid to understand what a power of two is want to switch to an inferior system

What's padded ?

That's disappointing. Is there a way to cut out the padding?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment

>people actually believing this bullshit

Fags.

why the fuck would you even be using kali for this task

what are you on about 400 MB literally means 400*10^6 and has nothing to do with powers of two

Fake and gay ass thread. But I'm curious

If it is anything, its encrypted, nothing useful I can find.

Its just a small part of it but its all like this with no anomalies. No header and no footer of any sort. And since there is no way to know what kind of compression or encryption is used (if its not just a file full of random numbers) there is no way to get to its contetnts.

OP here. I posted a link to download it in the thread.

I give up, it doesn't seem like anyone can figure it out or as said, it's encrypted. I'm going to bed.

>uses a metric unit
>magic 24 invisible bytes
Is this the power of the US education system?

I still don't get why nobody's run the file through this tool.

>I'm too stupid to understand what 2^20 is, and so I demand everything be a power of 10 since that's how many fingers I have

Because it didn't do shit, so I didn't mention it. Why the fuck have't you you useless cunt?

>Because it didn't do shit
Are you the retard that tried double clicking a command line program?
>Why the fuck have't you you useless cunt?
Because I'm not gonna download 400MB of CP.

just for shits, I tried scanning it with that those scrips that where going around Sup Forums back ~2014 searching for embedded files in pictures. It's not a valid gold-cli or extract file type it seems.
here is one the threads I was referring to if anyone is interested.

fuking kek

Yes, the power of the US education system is the absolutely magical ability to comprehend numbers is bases other than 10

This is a Sup Forums time capsule fron 2013. I know because i have the same one
