Remember to Review Scripts from Internet Prior to Running Them
Remember to review scripts from internet prior to running them!
Whenever you encounter some tutorial on the internet asking you to run a script like
curl -fsSL https://some-script.sh | bash
Make sure to look at that script by going to https://some-script.sh in your browser and, prior to running the script (| bash portion is what runs the script). If you aren't a pro of the language that the script is written in, then at least ask GPT/Claude/LLM-of-your-choice to review the script for whether it is safe to run and is free of doing anything malicious. By asking LLM a question as "Is this script safe to run from security perspective?"
