Dont Extract This 42 KB Zipped File! .......


The file contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped, which again contains 16 zipped files, which contain 1 file, with the size of 4.3GB.


So, if you extract all the files, you will most likely run out of space as it ends up with a file size of 45 PetaBytes(PB)
(1 Peta Byte = 1,000,000,000,000,000 Bytes)

Here is the calculation: 


16 x 4294967295  = 68.719.476.720 (68GB)
16 x 68719476720      = 1.099.511.627.520 (1TB)
16 x 1099511627520    = 17.592.186.040.320 (17TB)
16 x 17592186040320   = 281.474.976.645.120 (281TB)
16 x 281474976645120  = 4.503.599.626.321.920 (4,5PB)

You might be wondering how can such a large file be compressed to 42KB.
This is made possible by the high statistical redundancy of the 4.2GB file as it contains only zeros in needless repetition. Exploiting this statistical redundancy, compression algorithms are able to compress the file data more concisely into a 42KB file.
