Change bytes in a zip file and change it back?

We have a very very strict firewall at work. I need to update my script remotely to adapt changing environments. if I transfer my compiled (exe) scripts more than 5 times, our firewall blocks that ip adress/domain. So I thought if I intentionally corrupt zip file - transfert it - then correct it back... That would solve the problem. So i need to corrupt a zip file and correct it back. Any ideas? Thanks.

Can't you just use a (dummy) password for the zip file?

Firewall detects that the zip-file being trasferred has exe files in it and blocks anyway. :oops:

You could turn your exe into a text file using base64 encoding.
