7-Zip is a free and open-source file archiver, a utility used to place groups of files within compressed containers known as "archives". It is developed by Igor Pavlov and was first released in 1999. [2] 7-Zip has its own archive format called 7z introduced in 2001, [12] but can read and write several others.
The operating systems the archivers can run on without emulation or compatibility layer. Ubuntu's own GUI Archive manager, for example, can open and create many archive formats (including Rar archives) even to the extent of splitting into parts and encryption and ability to be read by the native program.
A famous example of a zip bomb is titled 42.zip, which is a zip file of unknown authorship [4] consisting of 42 kilobytes of compressed data, containing five layers of nested zip files in sets of 16, each bottom-layer archive containing a 4.3-gigabyte (4 294 967 295 bytes; 4 GiB − 1 B) file for a total of 4.5 petabytes (4 503 599 626 321 920 ...

The self-extracting executable may need to be renamed to contain a file extension associated with the corresponding packer; archive file formats known to support this include ARJ [1] and ZIP. [2] [3] Typically, self-extracting files for Microsoft operating systems such as DOS and Windows have a .exe extension, just like any other executable file.
Executable compression used to be more popular when computers were limited to the storage capacity of floppy disks, which were both slow and low capacity media, and small hard drives; it allowed the computer to store more software in the same amount of space, without the inconvenience of having to manually unpack an archive file every time the ...
