It can be either {'h', 'i', 'b', 'r'} (for Windows XP) or {'H', 'I', 
'B', 'R'} (for Windows Vista/7).  Technically I should only be checking 
for these two values, but it is unlikely that the magic would have mixed 
case.  The only other values I know (from 
<http://www.msuiche.net/pres/PacSec07-slides-0.4.pdf>) that it can 
assume are {'w', 'a', 'k', 'e'}, {'l', 'i', 'n', 'k'}, and {'\0', '\0', 
'\0', '\0'}.  Using strncasecmp() seemed like a simple way to approach 
the problem.
