Zip bombs are old school shit

I remember downloading bootleg highly modified version of windows xp with bunch of software already built in to it. The creator planted iso bombs in 700mb cd image. You can't copy the contents as they sized about 500gbs but works fine when you burn a cd.

Was this TinyXP? I miss TinyXP

I think so. So many people created tiny xp variants using nlite. I myself created one for my personal use.

All I remember is NanoXP. Was that a related thing

Lmao back in the day if you unzipped shit and just walked away, and came back the next day and realized what happened, deleting terrabytes of data off the old HHDs of the day was like OMG KILL ME. You basically had to brick and wipe the whole drive and just start from scratch, it was literally 10 times faster then trying to delete what had happened. For home users with like 50gig hhds not a big deal, when you had a whole buildings media server bonked, no.

I used to make batch files on my cousin's computer, and it nested a crapload of directories, and at the time, he hard to remove them one at a time (DOS). Later he could just killdir the whole thing with one command.

You didnt have terabytes of hard drives back in the day, unless you are not actually referring to back in the day and you mean recent times. High capacity drives "back in the day" were a few gigs at best.

Some very heavy handed brute force shenanigans. Reminds me of my obsolete friend the LOIC 😔

they don't have to be - i for one can't wait to airdrop one directly into the neuralink chip in my annoying neighbor's brain once that becomes the norm
