Don't copy paste from a website to a terminal

But you could still paste ^d (End-of-file)? Granted, if you paste ^d in the terminal, you'd exit, but one could do this?:

  dangerous-commands \n
  ^d #eof
  dangerous-commmands \n #repeat

(I'm not actually sure if you can paste ^d in general... but I expect you could?)

Great point, we've just fired another salvo in an escalating war. The only winning move is not to paste. :)
