How to edit a readonly zip file using vim?

You should be able to edit the file unless the filesystem it is on is mounted read-only.

The article you reference deals with essentially creating a trojan in a very specific environment: one that automatically decompresses zip files when uploaded.

If your purpose isn't this, what is your ultimate purpose? Perhaps there's a better way to do it.

Maybe there is no ' xxA ' in the file?

BTW how can you edit a zip file in vim, I tried opening a zip file and vim asks me which file to edit from a list of files contained in the archive. When I choose the file, I get the file text content...
