  Let's be real, in most cases it is: curl -s script.random-guy.net | sh It is such glaring security hole that there was an old submission about filling such install script with `sleep` commands and detecting it on server side, to send different versions for downloading (and reviewing) and for actual direct execution.

    I use those scripts to improve the likelyhood it'll fail to do anything useful. I even used uname as a fuzzing tool, and that broke builds spectacularly. There's now a more reasonable uname in the sandbox for builds.
