Analyzes a file's binary signature to determine its true type, detects macros, embedded executables, archive path traversal, PDF JavaScript/launch actions, and extension-content mismatches — without executing or storing the file.

How this service works
Bestimmt den tatsaechlichen Dateityp aus der Signatur, erkennt Office- und Archivinhalte am Verzeichnis, meldet Makros, eingebettete ausfuehrbare Dateien, Pfadwechsel im Archiv, JavaScript und Startaktionen in PDF sowie den Widerspruch zwischen Dateiendung und Inhalt. Die Datei wird weder ausgefuehrt noch gespeichert.
Output
Returns the detected true file type (from binary signature), presence of macros, embedded executables, archive path traversal attempts, PDF JavaScript or launch actions, and whether the file extension contradicts the actual content — without executing or storing the file.
Example use cases
Screening user uploads before processing
“A user just uploaded a file called 'invoice.docx' to our platform — can you inspect it to check if it's actually a Word document, whether it has macros or embedded executables, and flag anything suspicious before we process it?”
Detecting malicious ZIP before extraction
“Before I unzip this archive, can you check it for any path traversal tricks or hidden executables that might escape the target folder when extracted?”
Validating PDF safety before sharing
“I received this PDF from an unknown sender — can you check if it contains JavaScript, launch actions, or embedded executables that could be dangerous when someone opens it?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://tools.halowerk.com/v1/file/inspectWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, fast static analysis of a file's binary signature and metadata without executing or storing it. Ideal for pre-processing uploaded files in pipelines, detecting common attack vectors (macros, embedded executables, path traversal, PDF JS), and verifying extension integrity. Prefer over full antivirus scanning when execution-free, privacy-preserving inspection is required and results are needed in real time.
Side effects
- File payload too large or malformed — returns 400 error
- Unsupported or unknown file format — type may be reported as unknown
- Network timeout for very large binary uploads
- Missing or empty file body — returns validation error
