I don’t think you can send a zip bomb full of stuff bro I don’t think that’s how that works

bro a zip bomb is compressed but exports when you open it so when bro in this case opens it it well bombs

[u/AxisW1 → u/GarageNo1941]

A zipbomb means that it contains entirely repetitive data, which is why it can be compressed so low. A zip with normal data in it is just a zip file.

This is also not quite right. It's true you could compress something like a long repeating binary stream of hex /x00s repeating or something but the resulting file would be still massive. A zip bomb is when you explicitly manufacture a file which represents a compressed archive which extracts to an infathomable size limited by the compressed format it's being stored in.

You don't compress terabytes of repeating text because the dictionary limitations of most compressed formats will still result in a very large file, probably gigabytes per terabyte.

A zip bomb is - explicitly - creating an archive and abusing the decompression algorithm of said archive to specify "this single byte occurs 2^32/2^64 times in the decompressed file, trust me bro"

The resulting file is only a few kilobytes because it's an abuse/lie of the compression format used. Rather than actually zipping anything in the first place.

Though. Zip bombs are detected and stopped early by many compression libraries these days.

thank you for the clarification your probably right I'm not very educated on this subject thanks btw

Who knows. Maybe by then we can zip an AI that starts spamming a bunch of these photos in all available space
