title: I have an encrypted and compressed file, I need help determining encryption the type used
body: <p>I have a file givin to me as a project, it has an unknown encryption type and is compressed. The compression type used is Zlib but the ratio is unknown. I have attempted to decompress the file and have produced 30 1kb files. I am unsure if the file is compressed then encrypted or vice versa.</p>
  
  <p>I was given this output as a clue which I assume is produced in Bash shell Linux. I have cygwin installed in my Win machine and I'm using Bash, however I was unable to reproduce this ouput.</p>
  
  <p>The file in question is a <code>.FF</code> which I assume stands for fastfile. I have included a hex snippet at the bottom of this thread.</p>
