Windows 10 is not susceptible to dangerous Linux Bash command – Techzine

Actually, we could know in advance that fanatical IT professionals should try it, the most dangerous Linux commands you can run in Bash, with “rm -rf /” . This command gives the command to the entire hard disk, including all external devices, however, to erase connected to the system.

It is thought about by Microsoft and if you have root access on Linux Windows does not mean that you (the administrator) have root privileges on Windows 10. these are two different legal systems. To cause damage to the Windows system, Linux must be started as Administrator, then the user must manually to “/ mnt / c” go and where it can then cause damage. “rm -rff /” command does not work as easily with Windows 10.

For our readers who are less familiar with the Linux commands, rm stands for remove and the -rf option in this case means recursive and force. This means in practice that are also included all the subdirectories and force with no questions are asked more if you’re sure you want to delete a specific file or directory. Since external devices such as USB flash drives to be mounted on a directory, for example / mnt / usb stick to this then also deleted automatically.


 

 Nowadays know many Linux distributions as safeguards against the command “rm -rf /” , but Microsoft has thought of adding good security. The command is a bit match “format c: / autotest” which was formerly under DOS popular to inflict some damage considerably. This was without question the entire hard disk formatted.
