There's a nice new web tool online by some days:
File Extension Seeker
It's a sort of specialized search engine for file extensions listing sites.
It periodically crawl some of the best file extensions web sites of the net,
and let you make complex queries across all of them, in a very fast and convenient way.
Check also the new resources list here: File-Extension.net.
I tried to group some of the best and more interesting sites about file extensions, filetypes,
file format conversions, computer forensics, etc.
Last but not least. The TrID file identifier
is included in DEFT Linux, a very interesting Computer Forensics Live CD!
Released a new version of BitmapRip.
It sports better JPEG bitmaps extraction, especially from PDF files. Linux version also coming soon.

TrID's definitions library continue to grow, and
now cover more than 2.300 file formats!
19 September 2006
With today update TrID can count on over 2.200definitions, for an equal number of
supported filetypes!
10 June 2006
Reached the 2.000definitions
goal for TrID!
Even better, there's now a Linux/x86 version ready.
4 June 2006
The new TrID file identifier version 2.00 is now available!
It sports a new format for the filetype defs (now contained in a single package) and the
ability to work on entire folders, eventually adding the guessed extensions to the files.
A Linux/x86 port will also be available soon.
New command line tool available! BitmapRip is
an utility able to extract JPEG (at the moment, other format coming soon) bitmaps
embedded in other files.
I'm completing the italian to english translation of various pages on this site.
Sorry for any mistakes! If you spot an error (shouldn't difficult, eh?!), please
let me know! Thanks!
The list of file fypes recognized
by TrID now cover more that 1.400 different formats.
Thanks to all who submitted new defs!

XRK v1.50 was tested on an HP200LX Double Speed palmtop. XRS & XRC already works -
slowly but correctly. XRA & XRD instead doesn't works. Probably a new minor
release will follow to fix the problem. At the moment it's still be possible to
use the executables from the previous 1.36 version.
November 2002:
New XRK v1.50 online in the Software - Core Wars section.
October 2002:
Fixed a problem with the navigation's links on the menu bar (Thx CapitanoNemo!).
Started to update the Software - Core Wars section.
Expanded the Core Wars links section.
New home page layout. With a bit of luck it could be even uglier than before!
And that wasn't an easy task! Not at all!
Now on line XRK v1.45 beta in the Software - Core Wars section.
