In most Linux/Unix systems, there is a file utility on the system PATH.

To find the type of a particular file, you run it as
     file    unknowndata

and it'll use its heuristics to guess what kind of data you have, 
written by what software, or what type of executable you have, and 
whether it's 32 bit or 64, etc.
