Abstract:
Traditional compression bombs often work by recursive decompression, so the usual defensive way is by single decompression. However, a new type of compression bombs has recently appeared, which can take effect with a single decompression. We show the two structures of this type of compression bombs and provide the basic idea of detecting such bombs. At the same time, we point out the details in need of attention in the detection process as well. Moreover, we propose a detection algorithm for this type of bombs and we analyze the accuracy and detection efficiency of this algorithm.
