Someone posted recently about a tool to find if a file is encrypted?  I use
IsEncrypted
for just this job.  It's by AccessData.


The kind of tools can in general work in two ways - either recognizing
known encrypted file formats (OpenPGP, S/MIME etc.) or estimating
the file's randomness. For the latter you have an utility in
The Coroner's Toolkit by Dan Farmer and Wietse Venema. See
