I have something similar - except I don't send them ZIP bombs, but I engage in something akin to a Slowloris attack. I keep the connection open and send random bytes with random delays in between.

To my surprise, I got few "champions" who spend >12h on a socket trying to get data that lead nowhere. And since there is ultimately a limit on number of sockets on a system, you can effectively DDoS that attacker.
