To jump on the bikeshed: how about just calling this
FORK_BRUTE_FORCE_DETECTION or FORK_BRUTE, and the directory could be
"brute", etc. "fbfam" doesn't tell anyone anything.

Understood. But how about use the fbfam abbreviation in the code? Like as
function name prefix, struct name prefix, ... It would be better to use a
more descriptive name in this scenario? It is not clear to me.

I don't feel too strongly, but I think having the CONFIG roughly match
the directory name, roughly match the function prefixes should be best.
Maybe call the directory and function prefix "brute"?

Thanks for the clarification.
