Tell if file is encrypted sqlite file by just looking at file header

[Blaze Spinnaker]

Is there a way to detect an encrypted sqlite file by looking at the file header?

Assuming you don't know anything about the file beforehand, for example.

Hello Blaze,

SQLCipher replaces a portion of the identifying database header (i.e., the first 16 bytes) with a unique random salt so it would be difficult to differentiate it from any other file containing random data.
