I'm looking for a list that has the magic numbers of the most important of the following file systems and archive/compression formats:

For example something like:

-filesystem- -magic_number-
-cramfs- -45 3d cd 28 00-
-archive/compression- -magic_number-
-gz- -1f 8b-

I found some on google but no complete list or technical docs, so I ask you guys as experts.

You could try this list: File Signature Table

Another list, which is a bit harder to understand: Linux Magic Numbers
