binary-data-detection

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents the processing of potentially harmful binary data by detecting and rejecting it before it can be parsed, enhancing system security and stability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Magic Number Identification: Recognizes common binary file signatures (e.g., gzip, zstd, ZIP, PDF).
• Heuristic Analysis: Analyzes byte patterns like null byte frequency and control character ratios for unknown binary types.
• UTF-16 Detection: Differentiates between UTF-16 Little Endian and Big Endian encodings.
• Use Case: Protect a web service endpoint that accepts text input from being exploited by users uploading executable files or malformed data disguised as text.

Quick Start

Use the binary-data-detection skill to validate the input data for safety.
