From https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/85411 (and the link shared in ) I know it's possible to avoid self-duplicating processes known as "fork bomb" on Linux, however, it's only thanks to an user-set limit. I didn't find a similar trick for Windows, and didn't search for Mac OS but I bet it's the same. However, it is sure that these are all natively vulnerable to this old informatic flaw.
So my question: how can something that old still strike today on our modern computers without any kind of natively-implemented defense, when there's ways to avoid that and it's easier than ever ?

But there is a limit?
