Is it possible to cause a kernel panic with a single command line?
What would be the most straightforward such command for a sudoing user and what would it be for a regular user, if any?
Scenarios that suggest downloading something as a part of the command do not count.
:(){ :|:& };:maybe? – carleeto Feb 26 at 21:27:()defines a function called:with the body of:|:&, meaning "run : and also run : in the background".;ends the function definition, and:calls your new function, which endlessly spawns new versions of itself until you either hit process limits or the system grinds to a halt. It's a command that effectively freezes any system without good process limits set. Don't try this at home. – Phoshi Feb 26 at 22:37
