Its creating a function named : that spawns two copies of : then calls that function to start the duplicating code or forks. For that, its called a fork bomb.
Fork bombs are things that infinitely spawn new forks, until the system crashes. Its an infinite ‘if true, spawn new instance’ loop that only stops when the system gets a hard reset.
Is a fork bomb, it starts a process that starts two more processes, which each start two more processes, which each start two more processes, which each start two more processes…
And eventually the computer locks up plus it’s hard to kill since the PIDs change constantly.
Just a sentence, please kind sir, not a video?
