The one-liner:

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1G count=10 | gzip -c > 10GB.gz

This is brilliant.

Looks fine to me. Only 1 CPU core I think was 100%.

    ow.. now the idea is to unzip it right?

    nice idea:

    if (ipIsBlackListed() || isMalicious()) {
    header("Content-Encoding: deflate, gzip");
    header("Content-Length: "+ filesize(ZIP_BOMB_FILE_10G)); // 10 MB
    readfile(ZIP_BOMB_FILE_10G);
    exit;
}
