- clysm 4y agoIt's not about being "smart". It's a completely unnecessary complication in this case.
- more_corn 4y agoAnd a complication that is bad practice because a malicious party can detect the blind handoff to shell and serve malware. e.g. wget file.sh ; vi file.sh and you get safe code curl file.sh | bash and you get malware. This attack requires a malicious server, but it’s still bad practice.
