Wabbit

(Computing)

AKA Fork bomb, rabbit virus
Denial of Service (DoS) Attack which duplicates itself to drain available computer resources, soon causing the computer to slow down or crash due to resource starvation. Fork bombs operate by consuming CPU time in the process of forking, and by saturating the operating system's process table.
A Fork Bomb (wabbit) is an infinite loop that repeatedly launches new copies of itself.
