OpenSSL encryption libraries add a Salted__ header.

http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/Decrypting-with-key-and-initialization-vector-don-t-decrypt-the-first-8-bytes-td10420.html

When you encrypted data with a password using openssl command line, the 
first 16 bytes of the output are actually a header of the form 
'Salted__XXXXXXXX' where the last 8 bytes represent the salt used to 
derive the key and the IV.
