This repository contains a tool and example files to create nested ZIP bombs — extremely compressed ZIP archives that expand exponentially when extracted, consuming massive disk space (up to petabytes).
Purpose:
This project is strictly intended for educational and testing purposes only, especially for testing antivirus software and extraction tools against decompression bomb attacks.

• Generate highly nested ZIP files with minimal size (<1MB)
• Simulate decompression bombs expanding up to petabytes in disk usage
• Fully transparent, open-source implementation

• Use only in isolated and controlled environments such as sandboxes or virtual machines.
• Executing or extracting these files on production or personal systems can cause data loss, crashes, or severe performance degradation.
• This repository does NOT encourage or support any malicious use.

Clone this repository and run the provided scripts to generate your own nested ZIP bombs for testing and research.
