Well kind of. If it is possible to connect something easily to your person, than that is private information too. For example your license plate or vin would be personal info too. Your advertiser id is seen as private info too.
Some information that is not directly linked to you is also private information. This includes stuff like healthcare or banking information

“Jemand” could be the owner of the company, further 5. Explicitly mentions companies so this is kinda a void argument.
Who will tell you it’s a stupid idea.
I mean i never argued against that, like you already postet anubis is a way better option and not against german law afaik

That’s out of date anyway. How about this one.
Good to know
A crawler is a data processing machine, nothing more. therefor you are disrupting dataprocessing through data. If you think its not thats ok too. I would still advise to contact your lawyer in germany if you are thinking about hosting a zipbomb

For research purposes you could make it password protected, which would make it legal, though. Like i said having one is a gray area, because the law is made extremly vague. Like i said i dont know of any judgements about it, but it is still a possibility. If you life in germany and are inclined for an archive bomb and care about your legal safety contact a lawyer beforehand

Good question i dont know tbh. Would be an interesring question for a lawyer influencer

Telecom for example does Deep PackageI spection. That is rather well kown. Derec made a statement years ago that it is normal for other european isps too. Here is a secondary source for it, i cant find the primary source anymore netzpolitik.org/…/berec-studie-dpi-bei-vielen-pro…
If you are succesful in disrupting some dataprocessing doesnt matter, trying to do it is illigal. If you put it there to disrupt crawlers you are trying to disrupt an entities dataprocessing.
If your isp does dpi an archive bomb is able to crash their server. Even if they have measures againt it, it is still illigal because trying it is illigal.

I mean i am not a lawyer.
In germany we have § 303 b StGB. In short it says if you hinder someone elses dataprocessing through physical means or malicous data you can go to jail for up to 3 years . If it is a major process for someone you can get up to 5 and in major cases up to 10 years.
So if you have a zipbomb on your system and a crawler reads and unpacks it you did two crimes. 1. You hindered that crawlers dataprocessing 2. Some isp nodes look into it and can crash too. If the isp is pissed of enough you can go to jail for 5 years. This applies even if you didnt crash them die to them having protection agsinst it, because trying it is also against the law.
Having a zipbomb is part of a gray area. Because trying to disrupt dataprocessing is illegal, having a zipbomb can be considered trying, however i am not aware of any judgement in this regard

At least in germany having one of these on your system is illegal
