Controlled fork() bomber for testing heavy system load

Classic Unix fork() bomber. Includes CPU hanger, memory allocator, memory toucher and zombie dance team. You can test how will your computer behave under heavy CPU, process, memory load. Linux 2.4 and FreeBSD 5.4 don't survive classic forkbomb. Forkbomb is also useful as realloc() benchmark.

Versions, suites, and repositories

Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.

Checksums and observation dates

For an APT source, signature verification authenticates the repository metadata chain and the Packages index containing this source-reported artifact digest. It does not certify package safety.

Catalog record completeness

The completeness score measures metadata coverage, not software quality, security, compatibility, or suitability.
