When I was younger my friends and I would find cool and interesting ways to crash unix boxes.
A more modern version:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/mem
- Karunamon 14y agoAh the shenanigans that can be had with piping into system interfaces represented by files! * cat 'ing /dev/urandom into /dev/dsp (white noise), or /dev/fb0 (noise on the display) * cat 'ing your /dev/mic into someone else's /dev/dsp via a SSH connection * Playing around with /dev/mem or /dev/kmem (the right sequence of commands.. something involving `strings` and `dd` lets you actually see your bios stuff)
