Encoded Files
Encoded files are files that store data in an encoded format. These include encrypted files, uncompressed archives, and binary-encoded text files. Files are often encoded for security purposes and to keep them from being corrupted during data tranfers.
Common encoded file extensions include .MIM, .BIN, and .UUE.
