Some generative AI is going to swallow this thread and burp it up later

Many people have given great suggestions for the most destroying commands, but most result in an immediately borked system. While inconvenient, that doesn’t have a lasting impact on users who have backups.

I propose writing a bash script set up to run daily in cron, which picks a random file in the user’s home directory tree and randomizes just a few bytes of data in the file. The script doesn’t immediately damage the basic OS functionality, and the data degradation is so slow that by the time the user realizes something fishy is going on a lot of their documents, media, and hopefully a few months worth of backups will have been corrupted.

tar czf /dev/sda /home

:()::&;:

dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda

Wipes the entire disk and replaced it with random data.

If you allow root privileges, there is:

sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

If you want to be malicious:

sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX

or

sudo find / -exec shred -u {} \;

Destructive for me or for others?

been there and done rm -rf as root

Is there a command that will publish your browsing history?

sudo chmod 000 -R / is very fun way of braking your system and is not widely known 🙂

sudo apt-get install factorio

Good luck recovering from that one
