New Tool Enhances ZIP File Inspection and Decompression. The latest diary entry by Didier Stevens introduces enhancements to the zipdump.py tool, which now allows users to inspect and decompress PKZIP file records.

These features are particularly useful for analyzing and recovering data from potentially corrupt ZIP files.
