Starter probe

hello.sh

A tiny Bash payload that prints environment information and confirms the target host is ready for follow-up automation.

One-liner

curl -fsSL helper.sh/hello.sh | bash
wget -qO- helper.sh/hello.sh | bash

Requirements

  • Linux or macOS shell
  • bash
  • curl or wget

Best for

  • Smoke-test a shell delivery endpoint
  • Validate outbound connectivity before a larger install script
  • Demonstrate the helper.sh delivery pattern

Highlights

  • Preserves the historical first-script identity of helper.sh
  • Safe to inspect directly in the browser before piping to bash
  • Useful as a minimal template for future helper.sh payloads

Recommended procedure

  1. Fetch the script from helper.sh.
  2. Run it with bash directly from standard input.
  3. Review the terminal output to confirm the host is reachable and ready.
