Linux is one of the most popular and widely used operating system in devices ranging from servers to tiny embedded gadgets.However, linux has greatly enhanced the security in many ways, but still it suffers from many attacks.A major process security issue called Fork Bomb is one of them, which is denial of service attack in which process continually creates itself to make system down or crash due to resource starvation.Most of the solutions found in the literature has their own limitations like false positive detection and resource unavailability.To preserve one goal that is availability among the CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability) of information security, we proposed to develop efficient solution which handles the fork bomb attack in such a way that system remains available for use by end user.
