How to write to USB

1

Identify your USB device

lsblk

Look for your USB — usually /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc. Make sure it's the right one.

2

Write the ISO

sudo dd if=wipermax-latest.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress && sync

Replace /dev/sdX with your USB device. This takes 2–5 minutes.

3

Boot from USB

Restart the target machine and select the USB from the boot menu (usually F12, F9, or ESC at startup).
