For a correct management of a fork brute force attack it is necessary that all the tasks hold statistical data. The same statistical data needs to be shared between all the tasks that hold the same memory contents or in other words, between all the tasks that have been forked without any execve call. So, define a statistical data structure to hold all the necessary information shared by all the fork hierarchy processes. This info is basically the number of crashes, the last crash timestamp and the crash period's moving average. When a forked task calls the execve system call, the memory contents are set with new values. So, in this scenario the parent's statistical data no need to be shared. Instead, a new statistical data structure must be allocated to start a new hierarchy. The statistical data that is shared between all the fork hierarchy processes needs to be freed when this hierarchy disappears. So, based in all the previous information define a LSM with three hooks to manage all the commented cases. These hooks are "task_alloc" to do the fork management, "bprm_committing_creds" to do the execve management and "task_free" to release the resources. Also, add to the task_struct's security blob the pointer to the statistical data. This way, all the tasks will have access to this information.
