Make sure your speakers arent turned up too highly when you try this
one. Also make sure your logged in as root (so you can read kcore).
Works best after you've used your system for a while and you've been
through a good chunk of your systems memory. You can actually get some
very interesting noises.

If you don't have the fortune program installed, and you have xlock
running so that it will use the fortune program and dump the output to
the screen in big text, it will say "sh: fortune not found"
or whatever. Which is much more interesting than that crap that the
fortune program usually says.

Trick one:
Make the very stupid mistake of thinking that Linux is anything like
Winblows and think that "oh! the /tmp directory is just temporary
stuff, so I can delete it!"
So you log in as root, and run
rm -rf /tmp
Now you have a wonderful system that you can't recover (at least not
easily and not without great nashing of teeth).
Second Trick:
Do not try to re-write a disk-defragmentor for Linux while on serious
cold medicine (the 40-proof stuff)!
The software you write will lovingly strip the data from the disk,
organize it, and toss it away.

First, make a backup up /etc/passwd so you can
easily recover from this.
Delete the line for root in /etc/passwd.
Log out (or exit su) and become a normal user.
Now try to reboot your system with CTRL-ALT-DELETE.
Linux responds with "You don't exist. Go away."
Recover from this problem with a bootable floppy or CD. (If you don't
know how
to recover a Linux system from a bootable floppy or CD, you probably
don't want to try this stupid trick).

How to go forward through time using LINUX:
Install your favorite type of linux on a new machine. Configure
networking, video, sound and any other devices you may need.
Then, install your favorite windowing system. Configure it, run
it, maybe even recompile it, and run a web browser.
Now, the trick is to have your friend install windows 98 se at the
same time on a different computer. Look at the time when each of
you has finished. He'll be done in 30 minutes, whereas you will
have taken hours, if not days. Congratulations! You've
just travelled in time using Linux!

It's one of the few ways to make the Linux kernel behave as badly as a
Microsoft kernel.
1.) find a Linux machine (getting less hard every day)
2.) log into a virtual console as root (if you do this from X, you
won't appreciate it as much)
3.) once you're logged in, type in the following command:
init q
and wait a couple of seconds. Bammo, kernel panic! Fun for
the whole family. NOTE: I am not responsible for data lost due
to performing this stupid trick. I did it once by accident and
hosed a nice chunk of my main filesystem, including /etc/inittab (I
initiated init q so tha t init would reread /etc/inittab. I
forgot I wasn't in single-user mode. The write-ahead cache
hadn't written to disk yet. Oops. :^)

None of these are very clever, but the other
tricks here aren't too flash...
1) close all your xterms. Now start 2 again. In
the first one, type "cat /dev/pts/1". Now just
use the second xterm as normal...
2) type "echo <ctrl-V><ctrl-N>"
3) As root, " #mv /lib /lib-tmp; mv /lib/-tmp lib"
this temporarily renames the /lib directory, and
then renames it back.

Trick:
This is more of a perl trick, but from what I can tell only works on
linux (not on solaris or freebsd). it's a fun test of I/O handling on
any unix system though :)
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $foo;
while(1) {
sysread($foo, STDIN, 100000);
};
sysread() doesn't block, so it'll keep continuing to block on STDIN as
often as possible. linux's read() (which sysread uses), does NOT like
this and will eat your processor & memory until the system is
completely unusable (ie, no telnet, no ssh, nothing)..
another good one (variation on the fork bomb):
#!/usr/bin/perl
while(fork) {
`ls -w100000`;
}
does the same thing, but only to memory instead of proc & I/O...
this one actually works on all systems with a GNU ls (-w is the column
length field)
please do NOT ask me how I found out the first one, it was rather
embarassing at work :)

bashing without being hypocrytical]
as root, do a "w" and find someone you dont like logged into
whatever comp your on
for an example ill just say /dev/pts/1
do a cat /dev/urandom >/dev/pts/1
for added fun, cat /dev/urandom >/dev/tty1

This won't work on all shells, but here is the meat of it. (should

export PS1="# "

Your prompt is now # and whoami says you are root.
I could add that this is actually a root exploit since all processes
poll "whoami" to see what permissions you should have; but
statistically speaking, you're not even of average intelligence and
won't be able to tell it's a joke. You'll flame me in a fury of
knicker-pissing indignance and become even more furious when I point
out it's a joke. So allow me to save some time: That was a
joke, you moron.
Now that that's clear, you can pretend that wouldn't have applied to
you (which, statistically speaking, it would) and may even show it to
your friends, claiming you thought of it yourself. Enjoy!

This one is easy and it's lots of fun!
<ol>
<li>Log in as root
<li>Get your favourite editor (e.g. teco)
<li>Edit ~/.profile
<li>Add "logout" (without the quotes) to the end of
the file
<li>Done!
</ol>
Now sit and wait until the administrator (that's you!)
tries to log on the machine! Laugh seeing his attempts
log in! What a loser!

It depends upon your graphics card. <P>
Simply start two graphics windows. The second
will show up on F8 -- for a few minutes. <P>
If you are "fortunate" after those few minutes
you will see some very lovely swirling graphics
patterns occupying the entire screen. <P>It is
much more impressive than any screen saver I have
ever seen. <P>If anyone knows a way to recover
from this without rebooting, please post.

This trick is cross-platform, but is even better in Linux, since the
OpenGL drivers are still under development and still flaky.
In GLQuake, or Quake 2, or Quake 3 (client version, not a dedicated
server), type this into the console:
gl_texturemode "GL_NEAREST" (for Quake3 use
r_texturemode)
VaVoom! All anti-aliasing is turned off, and even Quake3 looks
as pixilated as original Quake! Furthermore, I don't even know
if 3dfx Voodoo cards can even handle this setting (back in March 1997,
John Carmack warned against doing this on a Voodoo)

Create a file called crash.c with the contents:
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
while(1)
{
fork();
}
}
type
gcc -o crash crash.c
./crash
This works on most UNIX like OS's unless you have something like a
limited number of processes per user. Just think if NT supported
things like fork? Then they would have to implement process
limits. That is not really a problem though because NT is a
single user OS and therefor does not need process accounting, quotas
or anything like that. Anyway, the while(1) fork(); is not
needed under NT because it grinds the swap all day even when it is
sitting idle.

Make your DOS/Windows machine look like Linux! Just go into your
favorite C/C++ compiler and compile this source:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("Segmentation fault (core dumped)
")
}
Make the fake Windoze BSOD on your Linux machine, and the circle will
be complete!

Install Windows 98. Let it run for 58 days (I think). Watch it crash on its own, yep, Windoze does not need any help to crash.
Do the same thing with Linux. After 58 years it will probably keep on going.
If Linux sucks and Windows crashes, what then now??? (I'd rather suck than crash)

For all former Windows-Users who want to feel "at home" again:
Why don't you try Linux' Windows... excuse "Blue-Screen-Of-Death"-Emulator? You'll really feel as if you've got your NT back! Plus: You can have mor BSOD/h (Bluescreen of Death / hour), cause you can cancel it with CTRL+C and won't need to reboot as you normally did ;)
