title: Adverse effects of zip bombs?
body: <p>I have read about zip bombs on Wikipedia, read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1459673/how-does-one-make-a-zip-bomb">this</a> question. I tried experimenting to make a zip bomb, but when I unzip the final file, since the unzip is not recursive, it does not do anything to the system. Am I missing out on some detail?</p>
  
  <p>Also, how will the zip bomb cause the system to crash ? It is understood the program might crash but the OS crashing?</p>
  
  <p>The articles have created a bit of confusion, so would be great if someone could explain the details.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
