Failsafe to crash server?

Post by doawithlife »

Little new at this so yeah what ever that entails. Start with quick explination, only real need I have right now is to create a web server with asm. A very simple 64-bit nasm webserver(not working terribly well right now...); 2-stage to stack, ethernet driver, psuedo file system, a simple log, but no direct gui.Sure someday I will expand. Now I was reading over broken thorns site again today and I was hit with an idea, sure I am not the first to have this idea either. But what I was thinking is, what if the kernel(if you call it that not even sure this set up will ever qualify as an OS) was left on "ring 0" could you as a last ditch effort create a conflict that would crash the system? I wouldn't want it to be too sensitive but maybe it could help deter some hackers?
I was only thinking this would be viable on such a simple set up. Anyways, thoughts? Pointless?
Craziness runs in my family, thats why I chase a universe made of 0.

Anything that could be crashed could also be exploited.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
