Hi, this is one of the most well known "fork bombs". The use of ":" as a function name will work in bash or zsh, but not in most other shells. It is an unlimited recursive function that keeps calling itself and spawning new processes until your computer runs out of resources.

Never run that, or your computer will come to a crawl and it will need to be rebooted if there are no provisions to limit your user processes.
