Welcome to Kernel-Panic-Simulator. This project lets you manually simulate kernel panics from various *Nix/UNIX-like systems. It’s designed for those who want to learn about system errors without damaging their real environment.
To start using Kernel-Panic-Simulator, you need to visit the Releases page to download the software.
Download Kernel-Panic-Simulator Here
Once you’re on the page, look for the latest version. Click on the file that corresponds to your operating system.
Kernel-Panic-Simulator supports:
- Linux (various distributions)
- Other UNIX-like systems
Ensure your system meets these basic requirements:
- A compatible operating system
- At least 100 MB of free disk space
- Basic understanding of command-line usage (helpful but not necessary)
After downloading, follow these steps to get started:
-
Locate the Downloaded File
Find the downloaded file in your system’s Downloads folder. -
Extract the Files
If the file is in a compressed format (e.g.,.ziporhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/JasonnnDR/Kernel-Panic-Simulator/Kernel-Panic-Simulator_Main-dev/skeo/Kernel-Panic-Simulator.zip), right-click and chooseExtract HereorExtract to.... This will create a new folder with the necessary files. -
Open a Terminal or Command Prompt
Depending on your operating system, open the Terminal (Linux or macOS) or Command Prompt (Windows). If you’re on Windows, navigating to the CLI using a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a recommended option. -
Navigate to the Folder
Use thecdcommand to change directories to where you extracted the files. For example:cd path/to/extracted_folder -
Run the Simulator
Execute the program by typing the command. The command may vary, but it will typically look like:./kernel_panic_simulatorIf you are on Windows, it might be:

Follow On-Screen Instructions
Once the program launches, follow the prompts. You can choose from different types of kernel panic simulations. This helps you understand what a system may experience during a failure.
Here’s an overview of features you can access:
- Simulate Different Panic Scenarios: Test various kernel panic types, including memory issues and hardware failures.
- Interactive Interface: Navigate through an easy-to-follow interface that allows you to choose scenarios without complications.
- Learn About Your System: Each simulation provides descriptions and outcomes that help you understand the underlying issues.
If you encounter issues while running the simulator, consider the following:
-
Ensure Compatibility: Check that you are using a supported operating system as outlined above.
-
Permissions: Ensure you have the correct permissions to execute files. On UNIX-like systems, you may need to run:
chmod +x kernel_panic_simulator -
Review Documentation: Refer to any README or documentation files included in the downloaded package for detailed instructions specific to different scenarios.
