Vulnerability in LINUX



WARNING::: Do not try this on your computer.

Here i am going to tell you about the vulnerabilities of linux and here is the first one:

1. FORK BOMB :::

Just type on your shell this command
$ :(){:|:&};:
Let me explain step by step what this command does::
1. In the starting you can see a beginning of a function named :
2. Now in the body part you will see that :|: it tells that : function has created one child process which itself calls :.
3. Well the '&' sign in linux shell tells the process to run in background(now no can terminate it).
4. ';' as a delimiter.
5. Finally we call that function :.

Now you must have a pretty good idea about what this function will do. It calls itself recursively and after some time your system will get crashed!!!

Collection of Websites


Well to start with let me provide you link of some good collection of websites:::>>>


What i have found really interesting on the web(and free too!!!):

Well looking for some IEEE papers and got struck. so here is a website for you. Just paste the name of the paper and within no time it will give back you the papers you were looking for.

Books Books and Books a whole lot of books. This site will allow you to download any book from the enormous collection of books on the amazon.com website for free. So just go for it.

well struck somewhere writing a code. These above mentioned sites will provide you a lot of help with code available for free. So have a look on it.

Well don't want to buy a new software or looking for some interesting softwares that can make your life simple, so don't even waste a second and go for a whole bunch of softwares.

A lot more to come.Keep checking........

Saying "Hello World"

Well meeting someone who is stranger to you the first thing you must have said is Hello. Similarly while beginning any programming language the first program you write just says “Hello World” (May be you have added your name or a new line character in that :)). From BASIC to C whatever you have tried first; writing two three lines (or probably 4-5) is enough to say Hello World. Well with the advent of Windows World a different style comes in picture where the boring B/W( though its lil interesting) screen got replaced by the rectangle sized window with a mouse icon just lying over it trying to say pick me up. Here the old traditional CUI(Character User Interface) lost its charm and also the code length got increased approx 15-20 lines just to say a poor little “Hello World”. Although that is more powerful than the previous style but the programmer got confused why so much lines just to say two words. This is because they are not just two words but two different worlds i.e. CUI & GUI.
