They probably are not Java bytecode despite using the same magic number: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class_file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class

I hope they are. Or else what is the use of a magic number?

  AFAICT the magic number here is cafe babe 0000 0002 0100 0007 0000 0003.

    Yes. The same magic number (0xCAFEBABE) is being used for Java bytecode and Mach-O Multi-architecture binaries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class_file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_class_file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach-O#Multi-architecture_binaries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach-O#Multi-architecture_bina...

      So 0000 0002 0100 0007 isn’t part of the magic number?

        (As per Wikipedia, those are CPU type etc)

        The fact that there's a sole 0000 0003 in there should be a clue :D
