Are there any long-term damagea to your device when opening a zip bomb? And can you just delete the file after your device has crashed and been restarted?
Depends, was the file malicious or “just a joke”?
I never said I was the receiver.
They never said you were
Nope, a zip bomb is just a zip archive that blows up in size when you uncompress it. Any decent unzip program will warn you if the file needs more space than what you have available on your disk.
The worst that can happen is that the unzip program crashes while trying to unpack the file, and that’s about it.
that’s cool…thank you
I haven’t heard the term “zip bomb” in ages…
