Defensive MIME tests: mismatched signatures vs extensions
Document benign QA workflows pairing extension checks with sniffers — never deceptive files aimed at humans.

Ethics & scope
Only test systems you operate or have written permission for. Abuse violates our Terms; we report obvious malicious misuse.
Practical workflow
Pair generated JPEG/PNG payloads with our **MIME / magic-byte helper** (`/tools/magic-byte-sniffer`) and server validators (python-magic, Tika).
Rotate signature-negative cases renamed with misleading extensions plus zero-byte multipart edges to ensure telemetry surfaces structured errors—not opaque 500s.
