Testing Server Security How Do You Safely "Corrupt ZIP RAR 7Z Files"?

Hi everyone,

my husband and I had a debate over coffee this morning about how modern cloud storage systems handle damaged uploads. He thinks most servers automatically reject a damaged transfer, but I want to prove it by testing it myself.

I need to intentionally corrupt ZIP RAR 7Z files to see how our brand’s client-facing portal responds to compressed errors. Is there a simple, professional program that can safely alter the header of these compressed packages without risking any system security glitches?

I’d appreciate any inquisitive advice from our tech-savvy members.

Thanks in advance.
