Theoretical Question - Malicious Shell Aliases?

I was thinking about this the other day and it got me thinking...my .bashrc/.zshrc is user-writable and doesn't need root permissions to edit.

What exactly would stop something malicious from adding an alias to either rc file like this:

```
alias ls='ls;./someMaliciousSilentScript.sh'
```

...I would never actually know this is happening, unless I frequently look at my aliases, right? I don't think I've ever seen any shell show me the expanded alias prior to running.

Or I suppose, this just comes down to "don't run stuff you don't know/don't pipe curl to bash/etc"?

Push Notifications for SSH Logins

Hi,

For anyone that is interested I decided to create a quick noscript to get a push notification whenever a successful login to my SSH server occurs. I thought I would share it with anyone that is interested, at the moment it is very basic and requires a bit of manual installation but it does what I need.

If you have any questions or concerns let me know.
