☠️ Never Run These! 10 Linux Commands That Can Destroy Your System

This blog post warns against running mysterious Linux commands found online, as they can cause catastrophic consequences such as data loss, system corruption, and even bricking your device. The post explores 10 powerful Linux commands that can have devastating effects if used carelessly. The first command, a fork bomb, creates an infinite loop of processes, freezing the system and requiring a hard reboot to recover. The second command, sudo rm -rf /, erases all files from the root, resulting in unrecoverable data loss. The dd Disk Destroyer command overwrites the disk with random data, permanently destroying all data. The killall -9 command force-kills all running processes, causing unsaved work to be lost forever. The Magic SysRq command triggers an immediate and unsafe reboot, potentially corrupting file systems. The mkfs command formats every connected disk to ext4, resulting in data loss. Other dangerous commands include locking yourself out of sudo, corrupting the partition table, creating an infinite log file, and redirecting the shell to /dev/null. To protect yourself, never run sudo blindly, use --dry-run before destructive commands, and backup regularly.
