"Can this program actually damage my computer, or hurt me, the way real ionizing radiation could?

This program does not produce ionizing radiation. It may seem like it goes without saying, but we will clarify it anyway. irradiate cannot directly cause harm to your body.

As for your computer, wellâ?¦ We do not recommend you run this as root, especially against targets like:

    Your kernel
    Your initramfs
    Your computerâ??s EFI firmware
    Important block devices, such as your systemâ??s boot medium
    /dev/mem

Treat this program like you would rm or shred. The files it acts on should be considered lost, and any resemblance they bear to the originals considered as a happy accident.

All this being said: if you ever do run Irradiate on some important system of device file and something funny or cool happensâ?¦ let us know, yeah?"
