Step 2: Generate an SSH Key Pair on Server1 Instead of using DSA (which is outdated), it is recommended to use RSA or ED25519 for better security.

Thanks to how the Linux filesystem works, it is often possible to recover a deleted file — provided a running process still has it open. This guide explains how Linux handles file deletion and how you can recover deleted files using the /proc filesystem and the lsof command. Understanding How Linux Deletes Files In Linux, a file is essentially a link to an inode. An inode stores important metadata such as: When you delete a file using the rm command, Linux removes only the directory entry (link) pointing to the inode. The actual data is not immediately deleted. The data remains on disk as long …
