Funny you say that when the sketchiest part of this submission is the shell script dependency it uses to intercept every command you run: https://github.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec/blob/master/bash-pr...

I don’t know rust, but the rust files in the submission look very straightforward. (Why wouldn’t it? It’s just matching a few hardcoded commands. It’d be easy in any language)




In base you need a hook that get the command before your shell execute the command. when the shell get the command interrupt this project execute shellfirm before summation in your shell


Yeah I get it. Your code is fine.

I just find it hilarious how that guy wanted you to implement this as a shell script so he could “audit it very easily”. I mean, bash-preexec.sh isn’t the worst shell script I’ve seen (It even has a Bats test!), but anyone that thinks shell scripts are easy to audit is full of shit.


In zshrc is much more easier based on the hooks that you get
