/wabit/ , n. [almost certainly from Elmer Fudd's immortal line You wascawwy
|
|
|
|
|
wabbit! ] 1. A legendary early hack reported on a System/360 at RPI and
|
|
|
|
|
elsewhere around 1978; this may have descended (if only by inspiration) from
|
|
|
|
|
a hack called RABBITS reported from 1969 on a Burroughs 5500 at the
|
|
|
|
|
University of Washington Computer Center. The program would make two copies
|
|
|
|
|
of itself every time it was run, eventually crashing the system. 2. By
|
|
|
|
|
extension, any hack that includes infinite self-replication but is not a
|
|
|
|
|
virus or worm. See fork bomb and rabbit job , see also cookie monster.
