So it's basically a compression bomb? Like those small zip files that can expand to gigantic sizes?

#33i thought this as well explained. title a bit clickbaity, but it got me to click.
i'm interested in learning more about the mp4 format. where can I read more? is there a canonical read that everyone but me knows about?
OP seems like he has some kind of file explorer UI for it - also interested in that

More like a graph that a single person generally can't hope to move unless they have a following to the level of xcow. If someone burns a tire in the middle of the rain forest.... can anyone tell until its 50,000 people doing it?
What is xcow?
I think they might've meant xqcow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XQc

MP4 Inspector (Windows)
The MP4 format is fundamentally pretty easy, at least the box structure. But there have been so many standards that overlap that the MP4 format is also really messy. Aaand you need to pay to get access to the specs of the format..

never heard of this, TLDR on how it works?
From https://www.unforgettable.dk/ :
"The file contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped files, which again contains 16 zipped, which again contains 16 zipped files, which contain 1 file, with the size of 4.3GB. So, if you extract all files, you will most likely run out of space :-)"
Why recursively extract zip files? Well maybe a security tool is truing to inspect or process zip file contents

#38Folks, just because the author wasn't wearing a Guy Fawks mask with a black hoodie and made no mention of gaining access to the Central Meme Database, that doesn't mean they weren't hacking.
They were hacking around with MP4 muxers and YouTube. This is definitely the hacker spirit. The word doesn't need to be re-appropriated by Hollywood caricatures.

#39I've seen many strange mp4s and webms floating around various discord communities. Some crash your client at a fitting moment in the video, some appear to be thousands of hours long, some appear to be seconds long but are actually hours long, some even loop! somehow.

#40On some sites with a video duration limit that don't do transcoding, at least those that allow vp8 WEBM uploads, you can change a few bytes on the input to report a false duration and upload longer videos. If you're uploading audio only, with a static image, you can sometimes upload hours of audio before you hit the filesize limit.
