How are you crashing your system?! Crashing program sure, but the entire system?
OPs example was task management, which doesn’t require kernel modules.
rm -rf <some placeholder>
Works for

current directory. Yay!… also works for
/
system root. 🔥 Nay!That won’t crash your kernel, and I was more curious about the OPs example. Task management is basically reading some files, and sending signals, it should be near impossible to crash the system.
