Ripjack Request or Ripjack Program
Ripjack Request / Ripjack Program: An instruction or program meant to send an infected computer, program, website, server, router and/or other hardware and software into an infinite loop cycle. Like the recent cyber attacks being experienced worldwide. The term itself is based on an old Star Trek (sigh...) episode 'Wolf in the Fold'. Spock commanded the ship computer (infected by the alien spirit of Jack the Ripper, memorably voiced by John Fiedler) to compute pi to the last decimal (impossible, of course). We suppose, theoretically, any computer could be thrown into an infinite loop with a large enough request.
