I was a newbie user, telling a friend of mine about rm -rf /*. I typed it in a hit Enter, telling him it doesn't harm since I didn't enter sudo. But I'd forgotten that I have still permission to delete my home directory. ๐ฅฒ๐
I'd imagine rm has easily caused the most destruction.
tar czf /dev/sda /home
dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda
Wipes the entire disk and replaced it with random data.
As a WSL user:
sudo rm -rf /mnt/c/
Destructive for me or for others?
for the terminal's operating system
