Isn't it just a normal compression algorithm then?
- im3w1l 5y agoNo, a normal compression algorithm will often (as opposed to very rarely) expand the output when given a random input.
- assbuttbuttass 5y agoI don't think you could expect this to do any better, though. Apparently this algorithm uses DEFLATE under the hood
- goldenkey 5y agoMost compression algos have a simple flag to indicate an embedded file for cases where compression is not workable. All the same principles still apply, it's just that the compression algo is now meta of sorts.
