Right now i am more concern about the different techniques/approaches to carry out my examination. Techniques like sheepdip and approaches like checking the header are things that i have done.
If anyone have more information to share, feel free to share here or give me a pm to know more about the problem i'm facing. thanks! D
I don' t want to seem grumpier than usual, but WHAT kind of additional information do you expect? 😯
You have EITHER a "virus affected" or a "corrupted on media" .zip file.
In BOTH cases the result you are experiencing is
When i try to open the file, a message is displayed saying that the file is corrupted.
A few questions come immediately to mind
- Opening it with WHAT?
- Under WHICH OS?
- With WHICH specific tool setting or command line?
but they would be only useful to better understand if by any chance the issue is not an actual "serious" corruption of the file, but only the use of some "strange" or not fully tested softwares (as an example 7-zip in early versions had issues with some kinds of very slightly corrupted archives), see here for a reference

If the fact is that the file is actually corrupted, when a file is corrupted there are NO MORE than three possibilities (besides using a back up copy of it instead - but this was excluded)
- attempt fixing/recovery/repair the corrupted file
- attempt extracting from it whatever (partial) data (if any) is recoverable
- give up and do something better, like taking a walk outside
[/listo]
and some (good) advice was given to you for both possibilities #1 and #2 ….
