No, you aren't guaranteed that it's the beginning of the file. You should be able to inspect the file record though to see if you have gotten the begging of the file although I'm blanking on how exactly you'd do that at the moment.

Not sure, but likely to have a lot of overhead. There is quite a bit of code there that runs for each file. The best way to find out is to run it on a larger network though.

Unfortunately not at the moment. There have been a number of discussions where we've talked about adding bitwise operators to Bro but we've never come to any firm conclusion.
Anyway, overall it's a really neat script. Nice job!
