Title: How long has your OS been installed?
Post by: pekv2 on May 29, 2013, 09:18:18 PM
Mine has been installed little bit over a year. And still running like a young bull.

Code:
C:\Users\Admin>systeminfo | find /i "install date"
Original Install Date:     5/21/2012, 6:35:19 PM

C:\Users\Admin>

Longer than I thought :/ Far, far too long.

I got a legit copy of Windows from my university though, so I'll be reformatting sometime in the next few weeks :D Then I can finally get that wonderful feeling of a fresh install.

The linux version is slightly different:
Code:
~$ ls -lct /etc | tail -1 | awk '{print $6, $7}'
2011-01-19 14:15
~$
Also more stable. :)

Hacks. I bet you're running a server :P

I dual-boot Win7 and Linux, I just don't use the latter often enough. Since my interests are in network/application security, that's all it gets used for.

Original Install Date:     2013.05.20.

And still installing and configuring all things I need...

Usually all my OS last as long as the hardware running them. Since VMWare and NT-Based Windows I loose installations only to hard drive or mainboard failure.

Ouch. As much as I know, rm=remove, I know this much. Next time should research cmds, prior to executing them. It's like mentioning /cp to newbies in call of duty. Lol. /cp isn't as damaging though, it just disconnects/exits cod. But for someone to mention a cmd to remove a partition are/is an asshole at the least.

I will give you the anatomy of the cmd:

rm = remove

-f = force

-r = recursive (delete everything, including dirs)

/ = root partition

rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on `/'
rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe
root@localhost:~#
Guess you guys never had the balls to actually try it. ;D

(Use rm --help|grep root to determine if your version of rm has this feature - if you're a wimp.)

Most modern distros have the updated rm. But yeah, if you actually run rm -rf / you're well and truly. Time to get out the recovery/install disk.

Windows have pretty much standard MBR so if it was known to be a clean and standart installation, the MBR can be manually recreated with hex editor. Or copied from other MBR and adjusted for partition size. Things are little worse with full disk encryption, you need a backup to restore loader and key data if it is located there.

del c:/*.* will stuck against system files protected by permissions even under WindowsXP. Yet this command could goatse all my files stored on regular folders.

Probably will succeed under Windows98, especially if reboooted into DOS mode.

Interestingly enough, one of the first programs I ever wrote, in some form or another of BASIC, was a one-line "virus" that erased everything on the hard drive. I never intended to run it. My dad, however, didn't know what it would do....

Long time ago one friend started to write DoS tool but decided to abandon project and ended with adding few lines to code that destroy windows. The damage is not visible until rebooted. The software still had the GUI interface of original intended purpose and I run it. It was before virtualization and test environments become available.

That ended with reinstallation of my OS. Back then reinstalling was fast and easy. On morning I booted Windows98 startup floppy and in evening I was playing games with my friends or causing devastation on IRC servers or NMDC hubs. Today installing OS is almost month of daily installing, tweaking, securing, configuring, testing until everything works as it should.

A well-planned Linux install can be over and done with in a day, but that planning takes some time. Or, you can put everything you need on a bootable CD or USB stick, and just run off that, and never have to worry about installing again. Most of the USB versions of this plan even allow for storage of files and whatnot. But for security, you can't beat a Live CD.


Title: Re: How long has your OS been installed?
Post by: MysteryMiner on June 01, 2013, 04:56:40 AM
It really depends what the computer are supposed to do.

More and more I rely on virtual machines or live bootable systems. Still I need one computer that can do almost anything I need at a few clicks. Or create DVD that can be booted off from another PC. And that can be used for both entertainment, gaming and internet stuff without rebooting or switching hardware.

This is why my real PC and OS is so important. Learned it hard way, now will have fully loaded rigs all around me.

Heh. I did almost exactly the same thing in high school, only it wasn't BASIC, it was autorun.inf (this was back when Windows would silently run anything autorun.inf told it to, no questions asked). I nearly got suspended for that.

The school did weekly backups of everything, so I figured it would just be a minor inconvenience. That's the only reason I wasn't suspended. In retrospect, it was slightly less funny than I thought it would be. But only slightly.

I remember whining about autorun.ini idea long before it became problem. It took few years for virus writers to start utilize this "feature" and few more years for Microsoft to disable it via optional KB update. One guy I know got all his equipment damaged by variation of Chernobyl virus from infected autorun program on game demo CD. He was running Win98 back then and even his CD-ROM firmware got damaged by virus.

You cannot reasonably backup everything.

No, it didn't delete itself. How else would they appreciate the genius of it? Also, that would have been quite difficult to pull off with a CD-R...

It seems useless.

You wouldn't be saying that if you were a Windows systems admin.

Or if you wanted to check your local or gateway IP. Or a bunch of other things. The command line in Windows is just for the more advanced users who know what they can get out of it.

It isn't very well written. Something with bash-like syntax would be better.

But then it would be the Linux CLI.

And it would... actually work.

Just about a year now (2012-06-15) but not for much longer, gonna switch back to linux.

Probably Ubuntu because I'm lazy, but maybe I'll go with Fedora. hmm...

Who forced you to use Windows? Will you bring them before a human rights court? :)

Well you can have as many free versions as you want seeing as mine was not exactly legitimate anyway. ;)

No one really "forced" me to use Windows, it's just that when I built this system I had intended it to be for playing games and I'm not really doing that much anymore.

Mine has been installed little bit over a year. And still running like a young bull.

Code:
C:\Users\Admin>systeminfo | find /i "install date"
Original Install Date:     5/21/2012, 6:35:19 PM

C:\Users\Admin>

My original install date is surprisingly a long time ago.

Original Install Date:     12/13/2009, 8:30:57 PM

It's tough keeping your system clean and bug free but some how I "getr done"!
