if you encrypt a file with 7zip or aescrypt you can open the resulting encrypted archive in sublime text in its hexadecimal representation and modify it manually (e.g. delete a few lines of hex and keep them in a log file)

this will corrupt the archive to the point where it can't be extracted anymore, even with the correct password.

i'm too shy to make a thread about this, but isn't this a simple way to add another layer of security to already encrypted files, if you keep the logfile (which you need to undo the modifications) offline?

tl;dr intentional corruption of archives for added security, yes/no?
