13 Linux lethal commands

In this post I will collect all commands which SHOULD NEVER be executed in Linux. Any of them will cause data loss or corruption, can freeze or hang up running system.

NEVER RUN THESE COMMANDS IN LINUX BOX CLI!

you probably also have to be logged into root to really screw up your machine but even as a standard user you will lose data.
