Fun fact: disk destroyer is just a nickname given to DD because of how much data destruction it can do if you're not careful. DD actually stands for Data Duplicator, and what it does it essentially in the name. You could even use cp to image a flash drive, but you don't get the block size customization that DD gives you. Also, you can even make images of a USB or Hard drives which is super useful for backups, or you can even copy the contents of one USB to another

Hey crypto, as far as thinkpads... is the t430 a reasonable entry point machine for learning Linux & pentesting generally?
And to your knowledge is there any advantage or drawback to the "S" models?
Thanks in advance mate, cheers!

Dd is great at burning...
So good that I burned myself so much, I wonder sometimes if im a masochist for still using dd at fast keyboard typing speeds

Tried to clone my microsd arch microsd build image into my replacement microsd. Typed too fast - didn't realise I used the wrong device (/dev/sdX) as the input, accidentally used the device for my external hdd and before I could say the word, it completely deleted all my external hdd data, replacing with the iso

YET I still continued to use it, with my kali iso build...

Before I switched fully to Linux from Windows (all of two days ago), I used rufus for this.

What would happen if you choose a larger block size? What would happen if you put as block size the same size as what you are writing to disk?

actaully it should be cc ( copy and convert ) but that is in use by the c compiler.

Also warning peeps dd is very low level, and will fuck your shit up if you do it wrong. Most and distributions include a usb creator tool, However kali Linux does not include this so you can also use Etcher in Linux or rufus in Windows to build these USB boot images, simpler and safer

You also want to look up persistence for kali linux too as the dd and etcher will make a read only live usb drive
