Zip Bomb

This particular Zip Bomb might be a little infamous…

A Zip Bomb is basically a heavily compressed folder, that when decompressed contains enough raw shit to consume the victim's entire hard drive. It's a pain-in-the-ass prank for somebody you don't like. Don't try to extract it yourself, or face teh consequences.

42.zip, a 4.2 petabyte Zip Bomb (Contains 4,301 terabytes, or 4,404,019 gigabytes of compressed shit)

Note that some browsers and virus scanners are trained to look for this specific Zip Bomb, so only use this file as an experimental reference. Do not try to deploy 42.zip in a mission-critical setting, because there is a high chance that it will get flagged by something!
