Topic: F00f



  
 NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: F00f
Although technically not an example of either, the f00f is often considered an HCF instruction, or a killer poke.
Since the f00f bug has become common knowledge, the term is sometimes used to describe similar hardware design flaws, such as the Cyrix coma bug.
Although it is almost universally accepted that the bug is a result of design flaw rather than a backdoor, some conspiracy theorists have noted the coincidental foo prefix, a well known term in hacker jargon.

 LASG - The Linux kernel
In addition to this we have hardware problems like the Pentium F00F bug, and problems inherent to the TCP-IP protocol, the Linux kernel has it’s work cut out for it.
Kernel versions are labeled as X.Y.Z, Z are minor revision numbers, Y define whether the kernel is a test (odd number) or production (even number), and X defines the major revision (we have had 0, 1 and 2 so far).
