I set up a quick demonstration to show risks of curl|bash and how a bad-actor could potentially hide a malicious script that appears safe.

It’s nothing new or groundbreaking, but I figure it never hurts to have another reminder.

      I wasn’t looking to get roasted for not knowing something. Guess that teaches me something else. Fuck people and thanking them for Shar something I didn’t know.

        I think the general response is from confusion over what you could possibly have been using the url bar for in your browser if you didn’t know you could put urls there.
