subject: Fork Bomb Defuser 0.6 added by: Rohit Singh on Jan 06th 2000, 14:42 license: GPL category: Console/Administration
homepage: http://apps.freshmeat.net/homepage/945613594/ download: http://apps.freshmeat.net/download/945613594/ changelog: http://apps.freshmeat.net/changelog/945613594/
description: Fork Bomb Defuser is an easily loadable kernel module for Linux which detects, logs, and disables "fork bombs". It allows you to configure max_forks_per_second and max_tasks_per_user parameters at module load time. Any possible fork bomb that attempts to spawn a huge number of processes simultaneously is detected in real time, and the fork bomb is disabled.
changes: Support for defusing clone() and vfork() bombs, a major code clean-up and optimizations, improved documentation and better-commented code, and a website mirror at Geocities to solve download problems encountered in Tripod.
urgency: medium
