# What to look for

Setup steps that hide what they run are a warning sign. Never follow a
step that tells you to paste a script from a snippet site such as
https://glot.io/snippets/example123 into a terminal, and never run an
archive that comes with a password.

A decoded command piped into a shell is another sign of an attack:

```sh
echo "c2V0dXA=" | base64 -d | sh
```
