Found some very special “make it look hacky” bash in criminal minds.
NO MR HACKER PLEASE. NOT MY KDE DOTFILE!!!
SOMBODY HELP, HE IS RICING MY DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT!!!
HES POSTING IT ON UNIXPORN THAT SICK FUCK
Me when I forget why I’m in a directory, then remember, but forget again
I‘m in.
I’ve told the wife I can’t watch these shows because of how bad the tech always is, and I can’t stop myself from losing suspension of disbelief when something like this happens
The only exception is Mr. Robot. Check this command the main character runs as root:
shred -uz /*
Only show I’ve seen where they show real commands with really damaging effects.
I remember watching the first episode and he brought up a terminal and thinking “here we go” then…“holy shit… Those are real commands”
That and the explanations I was ready to laugh at for being terrible, then… Wait, no, those actually make sense
And it is also great television. For me personally, the best I’ve ever seen. Whoever reads this and hasn’t seen it already: Do it! And watch it all! Some might think season 2 is a little slow (I still liked it), but season 3 is just incredible.
That should only shred the top level files in the root directory though. Since shred doesn’t do it recursively and doesn’t know what to do with subdirectories.
Do any distros store system critical files at the root directory? It’s all subdirectories on mine. I guess if you were storing important data files in the root directory they would get shredded but that’s really bad practice anyway and I doubt it’s super common.
/root
root
~/../root
root/
ls /root/
I’m in!
