How do the people who make zip bombs compress it down so much?
In: 5
A compressed file is a description for the decompression tool as to how to generate the original content. If the decompression tool follows the descriptions in the compressed file step by step it will end up with the exact same data as the compression tool got as input. A zip bomb however is not made by any compression tool. Someone made the “compressed” file by hand creating instructions that would be impossible to follow without consuming infinite amounts of CPU, memory and storage.
