Someone sends you hacker code. It's an unreadable mess (there's a surprise).
You run it through indent. You get owned. Here's a hint: when playing with
code from attackers check the shell code, Makefiles, etc. Do not do this as
a privileged user, ideally do this with a throwaway account, or better yet
from within VMWare. STandard rules of safe/secure computing apply.
