What It Does

Inspects archive files to show their internal structure, detect potentially dangerous content, and identify suspicious patterns like path traversal attempts.

How It Works

Uses JSZip to parse ZIP archives in the browser. Lists all entries, calculates compression ratios, and checks filenames for security indicators.

Use Cases

  • Inspect archives before extraction
  • Detect zip bombs or nested archives
  • Find path traversal attempts (../../) in filenames
  • Identify executable files hidden in archives

Privacy

All analysis happens locally. Archives are never uploaded.
