I see so many neat projects here I'd like to try out but I'm worried that I may install some malware or backdoored software on here. There are a few AI harnesses, terminals, etc. that keep coming up that look neat... but at the very least they'd be able to get your Claude credentials, if not worse.
I'm just wondering with so much stuff coming out, most of it AI coded.
Just wondering how people deal with it? What's the best sandbox way of testing it if that's the solution?

Hell, I've installed some older "known good" packages and some of them have so many dependencies that are pulled in automatically, the app itself could be good but one of the obscure dependencies that it requires could be hacked and now you are still running hacked software. It just seems really scary to install nearly anything now. AI can inject an obfuscated backdoor in seemingly good software, and it can spread at a speed that humans couldn't have back in the day. I'm just hesitant with new software now and it's kind of sad. So much stuff I want to test but I'm afraid to test it.
