Corrompez votre fichier 7z
Réglé pour .7z, et fonctionne tout aussi bien avec n'importe quel autre format.
Pourquoi les fichiers 7z sont difficiles à corrompre correctement
7z keeps its metadata in a compressed header at the end of the file, with a small signature header at the start pointing to it. That indirection makes 7z particularly brittle once either end is damaged, and particularly reliable to break.
Ce que cet outil détruit
- The signature header. The
7z\xBC\xAF\x27\x1Cmarker and the offset it carries to the end header are destroyed. - The end header. The compressed metadata block listing every file, folder and coder is overwritten.
- The packed stream index. The structure mapping compressed streams to their contents is destroyed.
- Compressed payload. Entropy is scattered through the LZMA streams so nothing is recoverable by carving.

Questions fréquentes sur 7z
Why is 7z easy to break?
Because it stores its file listing in a compressed header at the end and reaches it through an offset at the start. Damage either and the archive has no map of itself.
Does 7-Zip have a repair mode?
Not a real one. Unlike RAR it has no recovery records, so a damaged 7z is generally unrecoverable, which is why this tool is so effective on it.
Are encrypted 7z archives supported?
Yes. Encryption protects the contents, but the signature and end headers we target sit outside it.
Will the archive size change?
Not by default. The output is byte-for-byte the same length as the original.
