samples. Exist some antivirus that detects the ZIP infected without knowing the
password:
I'm sure more of these detect it by now. I suppose SOP for these scanners has
been to
extract files from ZIPs and scan them, but they need a more complex procedure
now. Is it
possible that portions of the encrypted ZIP are consistant enough regardless of
the key
that they can identify it? If not, for this particular case they could hack at
the ZIP
file and use the message body as a dictionary.
