while (true) console.log('this will freeze/crash dev tools')
For more of a "I've been hacked!" effect, load infinite 3D models in Three.js that have millions of vertices each. You get those black boxes where the system has so low RAM it can't even draw the browser window.
Shall we term this a Denial of Memory attack. Then in order to Contain it we have a ConDoM fix?
This doesn't even always work unless you log two different messages, because some DevTools will just keep a running count of how many of the same message there has been in a row.
fwiw it froze my tab in seconds just pasting that into dev tools
I think running it in the DevTools console is different from having a script on the page.
