Adding magic to Python for file type recognition

Recently want to see how the Cuckoo file recognition function, turned the cuckoo source, found its file format judgment code as follows:

def_get_filetype (self, data):"""Gets filetype, uses libmagic if available.        @param data:data to be analyzed.        @return: File type or None. """        if  nothave_magic:returnNoneTry: Ms=Magic.open (Magic. Magic_none) ms.load () File_type=ms.buffer (data)except:            Try: File_type=magic.from_buffer (data)exceptException:returnNonefinally:            Try: Ms.close ()except:                Pass        returnFile_type

The magic,libmagic in the Libmagic Library is a development library that identifies file types based on the file header, which Python can use to make it easy to determine the file format. Record the installation process. Installation environment: WinXP + Python 2.7

Install the Magic module:
1, installation pycparser-2.14 link: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycparser
2, installation Vcforpython, Link: http://aka.ms/vcpython27
3, install Cffi module, Link: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cffi/#downloads
4, installation Libmagic link: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-libmagic
5. Install file, add to environment variable path after installation:. \gnuwin32\bin
6. Install Magic Module Link: https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic
