ABSTRACT
During the past several years, the healthcare sector has become an interesting target for cybercriminals. The concept of E-health can not be imagined without medical images, which are usually presented, stored and/or transferred by using the DICOM standard. This poster aims to present three different attack scenarios, how one can launch a ZIP bomb against some DICOM-enabled device, which can crash the involved application or the system will run out of memory or out of disk space.
