Yeah, I just had a scare the other day with someone downloading a console emulator called "Cmder" which is a collection of a bunch of FOSS tools. It literally had ~1,000 files that could be malicious including powershell scripts, perl scripts, python scripts, shell scripts, DLLs, EXEs, etc. It turned out it was benign, but it's really scary that people just clone these Git repos and hope for the best.
