Mum Experiments With Dangerous Linux Terminal Commands In theShell 7.0 (2017)

[@OsFirstTimer]

Bummer, no, there is no easter egg at the end of this video. I simply made a mistake and left part of a layer near the end of the video when I was disabling smart sampling in sony vegas. Ignore the last minute and 15 seconds of this video, it contains NOTHING except for darkness followed by a white rectangle near the end.

[@samueleproiettimicozzi8134]

TheMuteCat yup. If you delete System32 alone, nothing changes until you reboot your pc (maybe some apps not starting but nothing too significant). The REAL damage comes with deleting C:\Windows. It screws up every single thing (like Start or Cortana), every driver (so your screen loses the normal resolution) and after some minutes, the system dies. Pretty cool though

[@tcreeperrblx8682]

linux doesn't name drivers as C:/ D:/ it named them like /dev/sd*letter**number* so technically there is no C:/ drive.

Sudo rm -rf / is something every Linux user should know is bad. Rm means remove, -rf means force recursively, recursively meaning that it goes to the bigger one after one is empty, and / is the root folder. In other words, the command force removes the root folder recursively.

[@PennsylvaniaEAS]

:D sudo rm rf -no-preserve-root is so useful

[@kim-hendrikmerk4163]

Just to be on the safe side against this sort of attack I will be replacing sudo with doas so that sudo rm -rf / can't hurt me anymore.

The "wipe drive" one was actually pretty obvious, in an actual terminal command it would probably say "wipedrive"

[@ithinkitspickingupalittleb8011]

"wipedrive" is ridiculous phrasing anyway :)

[@TravisTev]

This was a pretty fun and interesting take on the theme, especially with the decoy commands that were in fact more innocent than they looked. Though maybe you should have taken some time researching/testing the bad ones ahead of time so you didn't have to awkwardly explain to Diana why they technically counted as bad even though they didn't actually happen to work in the video.

"They would instantly spot out the 4 bad commands." As a Linux user, I can confirm. The second she opened the text file I knew which ones would be bad.

[@GRBtutorials]

Yep, spotted the bad commands instantly, though it took me a bit more for the pacman one since I never used it. But I knew it was a package manager, and after realising you weren’t a systemd hater and seeing there is is an “R” being passed as an argument, I knew it wasn’t to install or update systemd, but to remove it. I learned a few fun commands, though, didn’t know about figlet or cowsay!

[@meemee1357]

before the video starts: found it: #1: sudo rm -rf / #2: that thing starting in sudo dd #3: sudo mkfs.ext4 ... #4: ok, idk (I should know this, i use linux) lol: cowsay wipe drive lol: sudo sl lol: anything with "C:/" in it lol: sudo fortune | lolcat

"i think this one might be safe, sudo rm -rf /" me: 0_0

[@stefanhofmann2521]

I was wearing good headphones at a fair volume, I could hear you and Diana clearly... then Diana executed a bad command and my heart came up to my mouth (I got scared) why did you have to make that sound so loud!!!! it literally scared the life out of me! Then every time Diana was about to press enter I quickly changed the sound to come out of the iPad and instead of the headphones so I wouldn’t get scared.

[@OsFirstTimer]

Ah, I've got pretty old speakers so sounds are lower and quite muffled while I'm editing. That particular sound must of sounded very different through your headphones, sorry about that. Through my speakers it was barely louder than the audio of Diana and I talking.

[@stefanhofmann2521]

Just re-read the comment sorry if it was a bit harsh (;

[@OsFirstTimer]

Legit, just change the first sentence to "Yikes!!" and the whole comment becomes way less harsh :P

[@siimad2988]

OSFirstTimer Hi, nice video by the way.

[@sexymanacez]

there are ear rape everywhere

[@ThatLinuxDude]

Some command explanations for people curious: sudo figlet delete C:\: No such thing as C:\ in Linux, anyway sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1: If it can overwrite the drive in use, that'd erase the drive sudo cowsay delete drive: Cowsay is a cow, or another character, saying a chosen string sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda: If it worked, it would ZERO OUT /dev/sda

[@TheArcaneBrony]

sudo rm -rf / is not harmful, BUT if you add an asterisk (sudo rm -rf /*) it WILL become very dangerous (as it bypasses the check for removing /, and it removes every folder in the root instead)

[@AlexRobloxBB]

I have good definition of sudo rm -rf / -no-preserve-root is sudo remove reformat the / everything and don’t keep root

[@deansprivatearchive]

Just replace "sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root" with "sudo rm -rf C:\ --no-preserve-root" back in time. She would never have typed it in, bruh, even though it's 100% safe, I believe.

[@bobsobol]

I think this is worth showing to people who are scared of using Linux, or a bash prompt, in case they do something terrible to their computer. All the really bad commands gave adequate warning, except dd. It may even be worthwhile improving dd, by checking that the destination device / partition (of=) isn't currently mounted, and implementing a warning if it is. It's open source, so we are able to submit that improvement.
