!!IMPORTANT : DO NOT ACTUALLY RUN THIS COMMAND IN YOUR SHELL! IT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY! * :(){ :|:& };: !What it does Inside the recursive function (named :), a pipeline is created which forks two more instances of the function (each of which will be a whole process) in the background. Then the function exits. However, for every instance of the function which exits in this manner, two more have already been created. The result is a vast number of processes, extremely quickly and will quickly consume a lot of resources! Note : Think of the last : as the igniter to the fork bomb!
