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.

    Users are blameless, I find the fault with the developers.

    Asking users to pipe curl to bash because it’s easier for the developer is just the developer being lazy, IMO.

    Developers wouldn’t get a free pass for taking lazy, insecure shortcuts in programming, I don’t know why they should get a free pass on this.
