/wab'it/ [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 hack called RABBITS
reported from 1969 on a Burroughs 55000 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.
