No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
A common requirement across organizations is to have a tool that can identify file types based on their contents, particularly in the cybersecurity domain where magic numbers and file extensions can not be trusted. While existing tools work well in practice, there is plenty of room for improvement either in terms of computational load and time for detection in the case of model based tools like Magika or in terms of accuracy of detection in the case of file parsing tools that use programming language constructs. In this study, we propose a neural network model for identification of types of text content files, especially source code, that is more accurate and faster than other available tools. Our experiments on open-source files indicate that it is not only more accurate on average for text-content file-type identification, but also approximately four times faster than Magika, while being 28% smaller in size.
