Disney Heroes: *.tabb File Extension?

[alpha1337]

Hello,

I have been mining data for Disney Heroes: Battle Mode for several months now and within the assets folder was a collection of *.tab files which I could easily view using any text editor. Inside are tab separated values.



In a recent patch they have changed the extension to *.tabb which appears to be some sort of binary file or it has been encrypted?



At any rate, I can no longer view the contents of these files. Below is a side-by-side file size compare



Has anyone encountered this file extension before? If so, how can you decode the contents? Or what steps would I need to take to convert the file? Thanks in advance

The picture of the tabb is 100% a gzip file (open with 7zip or rar).

Thanks for the advice. How did you deduce that it is a gzip file? Thanks in advance for future reference, and for science.

Take a look here and search gzip:

hey alpha,

were you able to decode the gunzipped file? if so, did you need to use quickbms or something similar to get the text again to show properly?
