Found some very special "make it look hacky" bash in criminal minds.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That should only shred the top level files in the root directory though. Since shred doesn't do it recursively and doesn't know what to do with subdirectories.
Do any distros store system critical files at the root directory? It's all subdirectories on mine. I guess if you were storing important data files in the root directory they would get shredded but that's really bad practice anyway and I doubt it's super common.
