Lesson In Privacy: Watch Out For Hidden Code

When you download a file, do you check dl source carefully? Ever download a fork of popular security software without checking source code? This is an example of 3 lines of bash that a bad actor could hide in bash (or other language) that takes your mac address & sends it back to the actor. Just as the best way to learn network security is to learn to break it, the best way to learn about privacy is to learn how it is compromised. See my previous videos on the importance of MAC address privacy. Using wipri from https://gitlab.com/Aresesi/wipri can protect you from this example.
