luks partitions (encrypted partitions) start out like this:

0000000: 4c55 4b53 babe 0001 6165 7300 0000 0000  LUKS....aes.....
0000010: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000  ................
0000020: 0000 0000 0000 0000 6362 632d 6573 7369  ........cbc-essi
0000030: 763a 7368 6132 3536 0000 0000 0000 0000  v:sha256........
0000040: 0000 0000 0000 0000 7368 6131 0000 0000  ........sha1....
0000050: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000  ................
0000060: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0808 0000 0020  ............... 

it would be sweet if file -s could recognise them like it could
recognise partitions with filesystems on them.
