Ugh, to think people responsible for running large infrastructure installations are still piping random webpages to their shell in 2015.

It's not just them - doing things this way makes it seem like this is in any way acceptable. It's not. Stop it.

No wonder it's so easy for TAO.

Just download the script and check it first before running it then.

It's not me; I don't run scripts written by people who think it's okay to exec shit from the network.

It's for the people who don't know any better and see this anti-pattern everywhere and thereby begin to think it's okay or accepted. It's not.

What is a better alternative?
