Description

We currently support downloadds followed by execution, bash, and other interpreters (see shell_download_validate.go#L38). We d support file saved on disk and executed. However, there are other patterns we don't support, such as:

  1. download of .whl followed by pip install
  2. download of .deb followed by dpkg -i
  3. download of whatever followed by its installer
