So having log file issues solved and with the administrator out of the way, it’s possible to create a self-unliking fork bomb that will crash the server and it can be run either from apache or crond. Of course it’s safer from crond because crond logs go for syslog but apache it’s easy to hide if you passthru() a executable file in a normal PHP. Remember file upload is also safe because there is no ftpd logs identifying the modification of the attacking file.
