    In this post, I explore how attackers and red teamers can weaponize the magic SysRq key on Linux. From crashing systems and wiping volatile evidence to killing processes and evading EDRs, I break down how this kernel-level interface — originally designed for recovery — can become a stealthy tool for chaos and persistence. Includes practical abuse examples, anti-forensics tricks, and defensive mitigation.
