Используя .NET, как вы можете найти MIME-тип файла на основе сигнатуры файла, а не расширения

Я ищу простой способ получить MIME-тип, где расширение файла неверно или не указано, что-то похожее на этот вопрос только в .Net.

В Urlmon.dll есть функция с именем FindMimeFromData.

Из документации

Обнаружение типа MIME, или «анализ данных», относится к процессу определения соответствующего типа MIME из двоичных данных. Окончательный результат зависит от комбинации предоставленных сервером заголовков MIME-типа, расширения файла и / или самих данных. Обычно значимы только первые 256 байтов данных.

Итак, прочитайте первые (до) 256 байтов из файла и передайте его FindMimeFromData.

Я использовал urlmon.dll в конце. Я думал, что будет более легкий путь, но это работает. Я включил код, чтобы помочь кому-то еще и позволить мне найти его снова, если мне это нужно.

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

...

    [DllImport(@"urlmon.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
    private extern static System.UInt32 FindMimeFromData(
        System.UInt32 pBC,
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] System.String pwzUrl,
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)] byte[] pBuffer,
        System.UInt32 cbSize,
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] System.String pwzMimeProposed,
        System.UInt32 dwMimeFlags,
        out System.UInt32 ppwzMimeOut,
        System.UInt32 dwReserverd
    );

    public static string getMimeFromFile(string filename)
    {
        if (!File.Exists(filename))
            throw new FileNotFoundException(filename + " not found");

        byte[] buffer = new byte[256];
        using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open))
        {
            if (fs.Length >= 256)
                fs.Read(buffer, 0, 256);
            else
                fs.Read(buffer, 0, (int)fs.Length);
        }
        try
        {
            System.UInt32 mimetype;
            FindMimeFromData(0, null, buffer, 256, null, 0, out mimetype, 0);
            System.IntPtr mimeTypePtr = new IntPtr(mimetype);
            string mime = Marshal.PtrToStringUni(mimeTypePtr);
            Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(mimeTypePtr);
            return mime;
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            return "unknown/unknown";
        }
    }

Я нашел жестко запрограммированное решение, надеюсь, я помогу кому-нибудь:

Изменить: просто используйте Mime Detective

Я использую последовательности байтовых массивов, чтобы определить правильный тип MIME для данного файла. Преимущество этого перед просмотром расширения файла с именем файла состоит в том, что если бы пользователь переименовал файл, чтобы обойти ограничения на загрузку определенных типов файлов, расширение имени файла не смогло бы это уловить. С другой стороны, получение подписи файла через байтовый массив предотвратит это вредное поведение.

Вот пример в C #:

public class MimeType

    private static readonly byte[] BMP = { 66, 77 };

Обратите внимание, что я обрабатывал типы файлов DOCX по-разному, поскольку DOCX - это просто ZIP-файл. В этом сценарии я просто проверяю расширение файла, как только убедился, что оно имеет эту последовательность. Этот пример далек от завершения для некоторых людей, но вы можете легко добавить свой собственный.

Если вы хотите добавить больше типов MIME, вы можете получить последовательности байтовых массивов многих различных типов файлов отсюда . Кроме того, вот еще один хороший ресурс, касающийся подписей файлов.

То, что я делаю много раз, если все остальное терпит неудачу, это пошагово просматривает несколько файлов определенного типа, которые я ищу, и ищу шаблон в последовательности байтов файлов. В конце концов, это все еще базовая проверка, и ее нельзя использовать для 100% подтверждения определения типов файлов.

Если вы используете .NET Framework 4.5 или выше, теперь существует метод MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping (filename), который возвращает строку с правильным отображением Mime для переданного имени файла. Обратите внимание, что здесь используется расширение файла, а не данные в самом файле.

Документация находится по адресу http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mimemapping.getmimemapping

Вы также можете посмотреть в реестре.

    using System.IO;
    using Microsoft.Win32;

    string GetMimeType(FileInfo fileInfo)
    {
        string mimeType = "application/unknown";

        RegistryKey regKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey(
            fileInfo.Extension.ToLower()
            );

        if(regKey != null)
        {
            object contentType = regKey.GetValue("Content Type");

            if(contentType != null)
                mimeType = contentType.ToString();
        }

        return mimeType;
    }

Так или иначе, вам нужно будет подключиться к базе данных MIME - независимо от того, сопоставлены они с расширениями или магическими числами - довольно тривиально - реестр Windows - одно из таких мест. Однако для решения, не зависящего от платформы, необходимо будет отправить эту БД с кодом (или в виде отдельной библиотеки).

Я использую гибридное решение:

HeyRed.Mime.MimeGuesser.GuessMimeType от Nuget будет наилучшим решением, если вы хотите разместить свое решение ASP.NET в средах, отличных от Windows.

Сопоставление расширений файлов очень небезопасно. Если злоумышленник загрузит недопустимые расширения, словарь сопоставления, например, позволит распространять исполняемые файлы внутри файлов .jpg. Поэтому всегда используйте библиотеку для отслеживания содержимого, чтобы узнать реальный тип содержимого.

 public  static string MimeTypeFrom(byte[] dataBytes, string fileName)
 {
        var contentType = HeyRed.Mime.MimeGuesser.GuessMimeType(dataBytes);
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(contentType))
        {
            return HeyRed.Mime.MimeTypesMap.GetMimeType(fileName);
        }
  return contentType;

Я думаю, что правильный ответ - это комбинация ответов Стива Моргана и Сергея. Вот как это делает Internet Explorer. Pinvoke призывает FindMimeFromDataработать только для 26 жестко запрограммированных типов пантомимы. Кроме того, это даст неоднозначные типы пантомимы (такие как text/plainили application/octet-stream), даже если может существовать более конкретный, более подходящий тип пантомимы. Если это не дает хороший тип пантомимы, вы можете перейти в реестр для более конкретного типа пантомимы. Реестр серверов может иметь более современные типы пантомимы.

Этот класс использует предыдущие ответы, чтобы попробовать 3 различными способами: хардкодирование на основе расширения, API FindMimeFromData и использование реестра.

Я нашел это полезным. Для разработчиков VB.NET:

        Return GetFromExtension(Path.GetExtension(fileName).Remove(0, 1))
    End Function

    Public Shared Function GetFromExtension(ByVal extension As String) As String
        If extension.StartsWith("."c) Then
            extension = extension.Remove(0, 1)
        End If

        If MIMETypesDictionary.ContainsKey(extension) Then
            Return MIMETypesDictionary(extension)

Я столкнулся с той же самой проблемой и в конечном счете выбрал свой собственный вариант решения Кирка Баукома, найденный здесь .

Мне кажется, что это возможность для кого-то написать онлайн-сервис поиска.

В любом случае, надеюсь, это поможет.

Если бы кто-то был за это, они могли бы перенести отличный Perl-модуль File :: Type на .NET. В коде есть набор заголовков файлов, магический номер, ищущий для каждого типа файла или соответствия регулярному выражению.

Вот библиотека обнаружения типов файлов .NET http://filetypedetective.codeplex.com/, но в настоящее время она обнаруживает лишь небольшое количество файлов.

Этот ответ является копией ответа автора (Ричарда Гурлея), но улучшен для решения проблем в IIS 8 / win2012 (где из-за функции может произойти сбой пула приложений) на основе комментария Роланда, указывающего на http://www.pinvoke.net /default.aspx/urlmon.findmimefromdata

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

...

public static string GetMimeFromFile(string filename)
{

    if (!File.Exists(filename))
        throw new FileNotFoundException(filename + " not found");

    const int maxContent = 256;

    var buffer = new byte[maxContent];
    using (var fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open))
    {
        if (fs.Length >= maxContent)
            fs.Read(buffer, 0, maxContent);
        else
            fs.Read(buffer, 0, (int) fs.Length);
    }

    var mimeTypePtr = IntPtr.Zero;
    try
    {
        var result = FindMimeFromData(IntPtr.Zero, null, buffer, maxContent, null, 0, out mimeTypePtr, 0);
        if (result != 0)
        {
            Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(mimeTypePtr);
            throw Marshal.GetExceptionForHR(result);
        }

        var mime = Marshal.PtrToStringUni(mimeTypePtr);
        Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(mimeTypePtr);
        return mime;
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        if (mimeTypePtr != IntPtr.Zero)
        {
            Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(mimeTypePtr);
        }
        return "unknown/unknown";
    }
}

[DllImport("urlmon.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = false)]
private static extern int FindMimeFromData(IntPtr pBC,
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string pwzUrl,
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray, ArraySubType = UnmanagedType.I1, SizeParamIndex = 3)] byte[] pBuffer,
    int cbSize,
    [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string pwzMimeProposed,
    int dwMimeFlags,

@ Стив Морган и @ Ричард Гурлей, это отличное решение, спасибо за это. Один небольшой недостаток состоит в том, что, когда число байтов в файле составляет 255 или меньше, тип MIME иногда выдает «application / octet-stream», что немного неточно для файлов, которые, как ожидается, выдают «text / plain». Я обновил ваш оригинальный метод, чтобы учесть эту ситуацию следующим образом:

Если число байтов в файле меньше или равно 255, а выводимый тип MIME - «application / octet-stream», то создайте новый байтовый массив, состоящий из байтов исходного файла, повторенных n раз до общего числа. из байтов> = 256. Затем перепроверьте mime-тип в этом новом байтовом массиве.

Модифицированный метод:
