Theres a linux/unix utility called 'file' which has a very good list of different file formats and can identify just about anything (that i've found anyway).
Just doing 'file output.bin' for example will generally tell you what a file is. If it can't figure it out it'll just say its 'data'.
Opps, yea... exactly what canine said
How could someone using Windows figure this out? Since this is one of the first challenges out of Neophyte city, I would hope one could do it without running Linux.

However, you should know both linux and windows tools and select appropriate one for each challenge.

gzip...
This is definately the most helpful hint.
I'll add that it won't be gzip itself, but a command to interpret it.
