All these commands are somewhat under the hood for new nix users and need to be run as root to do any real damage. If you are new to nix by all means drop to the shell and start learning these the many powerful commands you have at your disposal. It’s as simple as ‘man command’ and you get an, albeit, terse description of the command, but it is complete and will show you where the real power of nix resides. So what and where are these commands, well for ordinary users you’ll find them in /bin and /usr/bin, dor the superuser and other daemon accounts, they are in /sbin and /usr/sbin but there is some crossover. If your really interested buy a traditional book on Unix that just lists all the commands with their descriptions, as in just printing out all the man pages. You really don’t know what you have in your hands until you read the man pages and documentation under /usr/share/doc but if the GUI does it for you, just stay there.

Nix treats you like an adult, you get to do anything you want and all without a safety-net. It’s amazing how that focuses the mind. If you want all the hand-holding, stay with the GUI, keep away from root or stick with Windows.

These Linux lethal commands that you have posted are really informative. I am now quite aware on these lethal commands. Linux that I’ve installed on my desktop computer can now serve as my basis to study this operating system. Thanks for sharing a nice post.

as a real noob i must say that the only command that looks bite you in the backside dangerous to me is the:
mkfs.ext3
all the others would ring no bells to me at all.
obviously i’m not saying that all dangerous commands must begin with some sort of warning but surely lethsl commands could have a “really?” type warning.
p.s.
please tell me that the “whatever” command is from the catherine tate show.
any, ANY, kid who’s watched that show would have no qualms about doing that one!

This infamous Linux command will inevitably lead to a potentially deadly denial-of-service attack:

make me a sandwich

Any unpleasant repercussions can, however, be avoided by prefixing the command with a magic little word from a strange language, known only to the crème de la crème of Linux users, otherwise known as sudoers.

To the person who asked if these could be executed on a VirtualBox without any problems…. well, the answer is “it depends”…. if your virtualbox image is that, and not pointing to a real hard disk, they you’ll only screw up the virtualbox machine… if, however, your virtualbox machine is pointing to a real disc, then kiss whatever was on that disc good bye…
