Well at least they're not instructing consumers to run curl | bash.

That's better than half the tech howtos out there.

No, they're instructing their customers to run unknown base64 encoded code instead. :D

  • They should have just had the base64 block and forced you to decode and read it before running it, rather then having the `eval` bit at the beginning...

    • But that wouldn't have looked like a bash script, only a random sequence of characters. The shebang at the start definitely contributes to the geek factor.
