Talk:Fork bomb

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I got here from wabbit but this is not explained. Can someone please do so! --HappyDog 17:12, 31 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Why the "%0|%0" windows example was removed (by Andrew Hampe)? Is it not the most concise example for the windows platform and worth including? --LKRaider (talk) 12:41, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Yo right, it's back... --213.220.241.158 (talk) 15:14, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Why do you include two versions in perl? Both of them are in fact the same. 89.77.174.218 (talk) 09:40, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Article mentions that bash fork bomb was created by Jaromil in 2002. I was able to find posts of a polish white hat - lcamtuf from 1999 in usenet, in which he had this fork bomb in his signature. Necc (talk) 17:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

If you can cite a source of this update the page ;) You might want to tell Jaromil too! - MattOates (Ulti) (talk) 18:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

It doesn't say that he came up with that piece of code. I just remember him having it a long time ago before apparently it was invented :] Here's an example, although you can find it in most of his emails from that period: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/muc.lists.bugtraq/browse_thread/thread/87d51562dd3599a/044c5404a9860dd4 Necc (talk) 20:12, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The bash fork bomb cure does not work...

I tried it both before and after fork bombing. It just says: -bash: !: event not found

What is actually the '!'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ehasl (talk • contribs) 20:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
