> Wouldn't all but the most naive scanners use time-out settings, maximum lengths on bytes read etc?
It wouldn't save a scanner from crashing to use a time-out or max read bytes. The defense can send the 100kb zipped data in a matter of seconds. The client then decompresses the zipped data which expands to gigabytes, causing crashes by out-of-memory.
