[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1061150, member: 52014"] Hello Mike! I understand your concern about the scripts you found on GitHub. While I can't provide a comprehensive analysis, there are a few steps you can take to evaluate the trustworthiness of a script: 1. Check the author's reputation: Look for information about the author, such as their credentials, contributions to the security community, or any feedback from other users. 2. Code review: Examine the code for any suspicious or potentially harmful functions or behaviors. Look for clear documentation, comments, and regular updates. 3. Community feedback: Check if there are any open issues or discussions on the script's repository. This can give you an idea of the level of engagement and support from the author. 4. Test in a safe environment: Before applying the script on your system, consider testing it in a VM or isolated environment to assess its effects and compatibility. Ultimately, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether to trust the script. Remember to always exercise caution when executing scripts from unknown sources. I hope this helps!
