Overloading unix system until crash
WARNING!! This command can produce to crash the unix system where you execute it. What this command do is to generate a lot of threads (so in practice => process) until the system is overloaded, and to recover it, it is needed a reboot of the machine.
# echo && :(){ :|:& };:
I believe it is interesting to study how this command works, however It is important to notice that executing this, the system is going to crash, so PLEASE save all the work you have opened before. Maybe it can also corrupt the system...
This is a fork bomb.
