The fork bomb is a form of denial of service attack against a computer system that uses the fork function. It relies on the assumption that the number of programs and processes which may be simultaneously executed on a computer has a limit. A fork bomb works by creating a large number of processes very
quickly in order to saturate the available space in the list of processes kept by the computer's operating system. Once saturated, no new programs may be started until another terminates, which is not likely since the instances of the bomb program are each waiting to do just that. The system becomes much more difficult (slow), or even impossible, to use.
Fork bombs can be considered as a special type of Wabbit (a program that self-replicates without using hosts or network functionality).
Remember one thing, these fork bombs cannot be detected by any anti-viruses..............
some cool fork bomb viruses are juz coming.............
