I can't exactly remember what JPG and ZIP look like, but yeah pretty much, I've done it before.

What's surprising is that it works on Twitter. I tried the same thing with image hosts and the data got scrubbed. I guess they don't re-encode small images but I dunno.

In other words twitter's backend did not sanitize image uploads properly.
