       Linux is the most precious operating system for programmers and
       hacker. Linux user can perform numerous such tasks that a
       Windows or Mac user can’t even imagine. It’s an Open Source
       Operating system which is the best choice for a server. Linux
       also provides Graphical User Interface but if you want do get
       the best of Linux, You’ll go for its Command Interface.
       Sometimes Linux can go extremely up to the extent that it can do
       serious damage to the system.

       But there’s a problem. Sometimes Linux can go extremely up to
       the extent that it can do serious damage to the system. Linux
       system doesn’t even ask the user for confirmation once the
       command is given and simply performs its task
       Because of these harmful activities of Linux, it is recommended
       to use it only if you are good at giving commands and have
       in-depth knowledge of Linux commands list.
       5 Most Deadly Linux Commands
       1. rm -rf /
       This command will Delete Everything from your computer. It is a
       combination of three keywords. rm will remove all the files
       followed by this command. -rf will run rm command in the more
       effective way and will remove all files and folders inside the
       specified folder without asking confirmation from the user. “/”
       will start removing the data from the root directory and will
       delete everything from the computer including the data of
       removable media.
       2. :(){ :|: & };: Sh
       This command creates a shell function, which once gets
       initialized starts to create multiple copies of itself. It
       results in taking quickly all the memory and power of CPU. It
       makes computer freeze or not responding. This is also known as
       Denial Of Service Attack.
       3. mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
       This command will format the hard disk. This command is again
       composed of two keywords. mkfs.Ext4 command will create a new
       ext4 file system on the following device where this command will
       get executed. /dev/sda1 specifies the 1st partition on the first
       hard disk which is probably in use by the user. Similarly, This
       Command > mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2 will Format the second partition
       on the second hard disk with ext3 File system.
       4. /dev/sda
       This command will Write Any content Directly to a Hard Drive.
       This command will execute normally as other commands in Linux
       do. But the output of this command will directly be sent to the
       file system (NTFS or FAT ) of the Hard Drive. It will result in
       damaging the file system of the computer.
       5. mv ~ /dev/null –
       This command will turn your home directory into a Black hole.
       Moving any of your content and data to following path :
       /dev/null means you want to destroy it. It means /dev/null is a
       black hole where once anything sent , can not be recovered back.
