  It turns out the malware doesn’t work because it runs subprocess.run([“rm”, “-rf”, “/*”])

  That will never delete anything, since there is no shell to expand the glob in /* here, so rm gets a literal /* as the patht to delete 😭

    This is why you test your code, people

      Is this considered Chaotic Good or Lawful Evil?

      • youcantreadthis@quokk.au ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Definitely not evil

      That’s fair. I hope Israel gets what’s coming to them.

  Maybe now they’ll figure out that they need to vote Netanyahu out of office for being a genocidal piece of shit

  • youcantreadthis@quokk.au ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Right they need a properly omnicidal megalomanic no mere genocide

  Unless the option –no-preserve-root is given, it should not execute.

  • elvith@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Fun fact:

    rm -rf / requires —no-preserve-root to work whereas rm -rf /* doesn’t.

    That’s because the /* gets expanded by the shell before the command runs and it only sees the request to delete /var, /dev, /home, /usr,… recursively but not / specifically.

    On another note: This line in the code doesn’t run through a shell and thus this won’t work and it just tries to delete the literal path of /* recursively - and thus fails to do any damage…
