From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]:
fork bomb
A particular species of wabbit that can be
written in one line of C:
main() for(;;)fork();
or shell:
$0 & $0 &
on any Unix system, or occasionally created by an egregious
coding bug. A fork bomb process "explodes" by recursively
spawning copies of itself using the Unix system call
"fork(2)". Eventually it eats all the process table entries
and effectively wedges the system. Fortunately, fork bombs
are relatively easy to spot and kill, so creating one
deliberately seldom accomplishes more than to bring the just
wrath of the gods down upon the perpetrator.
See also logic bomb.
