    Removed/deleted /* on my file system!

    Me and my stupidity... I always run root terminal on my AMD64 Kali Linux Debian flavor.

    Earler today a friend of mine played a little prank on me and launched some "shellcode" (troll move just encoding rm -r /*) into hex, on my system. That pretty much deleted every file inside ' / '

    Now I cannot even turn on my computer. How can I recover my OS? It takes me directly to grub rescue>

    I would like to keep my old files. Is there any professional method that can be used to just copy new /bin, /usr, /etc .. into my current fs, so that I can boot? I REALLY don't want to go through installing the wireless driver again!

    Have your friend do the recovery, or pay for professional recovery. Seems like they owe you.
    Do NOT use that disk again until recovery is done.
