A fork bomb is a form of denial-of-service attack that uses a recursive process to create a large number of child processes, thereby consuming system resources such as CPU time, memory, and process table entries.
Here's an example of how to create a fork bomb in C#:
main.cs211 chars14 lines
This program continuously creates new instances of itself, each of which creates more instances, quickly consuming CPU and memory resources until the system becomes unresponsive.
It's important to note that a fork bomb is a malicious piece of code that can harm a system and should never be used for any legitimate purpose. It's also worth noting that many operating systems have protections that prevent users from creating fork bombs, so this code may not work on some systems.
