While someone was creative enough to fill up the hard drive on the 8.04
server I set up, the box is still running, apache is still serving and no
one has yet to PWN the box. There is some crazy cat process melting a whole
in the CPU right now but it just keeps serving ... sort of :)
That is creative. Someone is probably trying to dump everything in
memory (swap + RAM).
That would be my coworker and I :-D
I was filling up HDD space with
cat /dev/urandom > ~/BIGFILE &
My coworker was running a fork bomb, which they talk about in
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/understanding-bash-fork-bomb/ (they also
show how to prevent it)
Oh, and Gustin, I know you're not a Windows lover, Dafydd vouched for ya :)
I guess I owe him a beer.
I'm fine with that :-P
