CorkaMIX.zip - PE/PDF/HTML/JAR(CLASS+ZIP)/PY file

CorkaMIX.zip - corkami - a PE/PDF/HTML/JAR(CLASS+ZIP)/PY file - reverse engineering experiments and documentations - Google Project Hosting:

"CorkaMIX.exe is simultaneously a valid:
* Windows Portable Executable binary
* Adobe Reader PDF document
* Oracle Java JAR (a CLASS inside a ZIP)/Python script
* HTML page"

It serves no purpose, except proving that files format not starting at offset 0 are a bad idea.

Many files (known as polyglot) already combines various langages in one file, however it's most of the time at source level, not binary level.
