'Is it possible to fix headers of a zip file in hex editor?
I am a completely beginner in file structures or in this field.
I am trying to extract a .7z file, but it shows "Cannot open file_name.7z as an archive". So i researched and found that there is something wrong in headers after looking the file in hex editor which look like this(first 3 lines out of many lines): hex editor screenshot of my corrupted 7z file
After looking at other 7z files hex editor, i saw that there is data in first two lines unlike the above corrupted file. For example: hex editor screenshot of working 7z file for reference
I just want to know that can i get this corrupted or missing header fixed and extract file? or is there anyway to get data from this 7z file?
please help me with this information as these files are my backed up data and i dont have copy of them.
