I found this on my server and I'm wondering what it does and what effects it has. I need to know before I punish the person who placed it
fs = nil
_G = nil
term = nil
while true do
math.randomseed(os.time())
print(string.char(math.random(1,255)))
end

It destroys some APIs and prints a bunch of random garbage.
Only on that computer though.

it deletes the fs API, and the term API, Im not sure but I think you cant delete the _G (global) table so the second line does nothing, and a bit stupid is, that he tries to delete the global table and then tries to call an function from the global table. Im sure the Coder is a noob ^^

For failing at Cyber warfare? Maybe he's just role-playing a CC-hacker.
And the code doesnt actually delete those apis

And it would error, at least when trying print - as term API no longer exists. Weird little crap code :D/>/>
