A fork bomb is a piece of code that, if run via a script or entered into the terminal, will create a process that continually forks itself until the computer completely runs out of memory and locks up. Essentially, it is a denial of service (DoS) attack. You often see the “shell fork bomb” posted on Linux forums and chat rooms. It looks like a random string of characters. What do those characters actually do?
