Which direction sounds most interesting to you? I can help you outline the , abstract , or key findings for any of these. i dove down the 7z rabbit hole (it goes deep)
"The Ghost in the Archive: Detecting AI-Generated Malware via 7z Entropy Analysis" neil.7z
A framework for detecting malicious code by analyzing the "difficulty" of compressing it, using compression ratios as a feature for security scanners. 3. Practical/Software Engineering Focus Which direction sounds most interesting to you
"Beyond the Block: Exploiting Compressed Data Integrity in Modern Archivers" Premise: Investigate how modern compression formats (like Zstandardcap Z s t a n d a r d The paper would investigate how to create a
) can be used to hide malicious payloads that trigger buffer overflows in decompression routines.
Analyze the 7zip failure case where malicious websites impersonated 7-zip.org . The paper would investigate how to create a blockchain-based or decentralized signing system that prevents users from downloading compromised software from "mirror" sites.
