What is Fork Bomb?

A fork bomb is software that causes a system to run out of memory, causing it to malfunction. To fill the memory, it forks processes indefinitely. A fork bomb is a type of denial-of-service (DoS) attack that targets a Linux system.

After a successful fork bomb has been launched into a system, it may be impossible to return to normal functioning without rebooting the system, as the only way to defeat a fork bomb is to eliminate all instances.
