you'd need them to install a custom root cert if you wanted to MITM their secure traffic, and still wouldn't be able to do much with any app or service that pins or bundles its own certs without going through PKI system though? I

untested, but I think you could possibly bypass it with a malicious .inputrc binding for <enter>, although making it conditional such that it only removed a leading \ could be tricky. In Bash there might also be a way to do something

That's pretty cute. `chattr +i' can be pretty handy for preventing misbehaving tools which must run as root from mangling your precious files. Also for messing with people on multi-user boxes :) As a tiny issue, in the 3rd snippet
