I don't want to do it. I am just curious as to what it does. I found these forums when I googled it 'cause a guy in my channel did it. So, could you please tell me.

I don't believe you O_o
U would have searched for the command, and the command is not named in this thread.

Anyway, what you are going to do with it is not my concern.
The command is

Code: Select all

format[u][/u] c: | ec[u][/u]ho j

(note i added in between the command, so that it shows it correct, but the browser doesn't actually read the code which would make the same happen as in irc)

If you would put that command in a .bat or another executable, and execute that file, it would first execute the command

Code: Select all

format c:

This is a command that tells your computer to format it's c drive, which is the default name for every computer's harddisk.

Then it immediately executes the command

Code: Select all

echo j

, meaning it will simply give as input: j, like when you would type this.

With this input: J, it automatically answers the question asked by the program that the previously executed command

Code: Select all

format c:

asks your computer, being "Are you sure you want to proceed (blablabla all your files will get lost blablabla)"...thus starting a format on your c-drive.

Besides the fact that this doesn't work anymore these days (it will give you an error, saying that the current disk is in use, if u were to actually use this command to full effect, you would have to enter it after restarting your computer in DOS-mode), it will also have totally ZERO effect, because the log the command ends up in (note that irc makes logs in realtime, meaning that as soon as some1 in one of your logged channels says this very line, it will end up in your #<insertloggedchannelnamehere>.log

Your antivirus-program will automatically read this line in the .log and delete it instantly!
Even tho you cannot execute a .log or .txt, meaning it will have no effect.

This creates a pop-up, and makes people lose their logs (altho I found out they can be recovered if you go to quarantine in your antivirus program)

Hope that helped x_X
Once more: Don't do it dude -.- it's lame and people don't want to lose their logs O_o it sucks.

If you don't trust me google it yourself. It will show a thread w/ this thread's link in it.

Btw, thanks for the detailed answer.
