Eviltechie Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Ok, a friend of mine made a damn vulnerable wiki. He told me to "go for it" and to type a shell command in the search box. I put in rm -r *, and it wiped out everything. Now what? I know that there is no undo for rm, but is there a way to recover the data? (I know that it is only marked as free space, not written with zeros) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattqatsi Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I know that it is only marked as free space, not written with zeros Not with rm -r My advice: Start redownloading your porn collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingwray Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 On a random point that someone told me to today. Create a file in a directory named '-r'. Then run 'rm *' in that directory. Interesting things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting things happen. That is awesome. Not too different to PHP injection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ax0n Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 http://freshmeat.net/redir/unrm/10963/url_...nrm-0.92.tar.gz The shellscript needs some tweaking for ext3 but I've used this several times before and it usually does an okay job. Not perfect but it might get some (or all) of it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OIFhax Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Ok, a friend of mine made a damn vulnerable wiki. He told me to "go for it" and to type a shell command in the search box.

(I know that it is only marked as free space, not written with zeros) Judging from some of your other posts, this was not your friend that asked you to do this, I’m thinkin that it was your lappy that you did it to and now your p0rn is gone... but i digress... If your "friend" did in fact tell you to "go for it" the data loss is his problem, not yours. You were just doing what you were asked to do. Tell him good luck in finding a solution. If only there was some kind of forum where he could ask this question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
