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: A major bug which was causing the module to malfunction has been removed. Rather than being rescheduled, the offending processes are killed whenever the MAX_FORKS_PER_SECOND or MAX_TASKS_PER_USER parameters are exceeded. This change will solve the problem in the previous version.
