So let's imagine, someone gaining root access( known as rooting, or being rooted ) to your system is feeling charitable, and only runs something like:
*WARNING - Do not do this ! You've been warned.* # gzip -9 -r / What do you suppose will happen, and then what do you suppose you will do to fix this problem ? Removing files recursively + forcefully would probably be more likely. But worse still, what if the attacker simply hides a well written executable on your system some where ? Does this system belong to a business that uses it in some way to deal with sensitive data ? How secure if your local network ? What kind of damage are you most afraid of happening to systems on your network ? Just think about the above for a while until it sinks in.
