You have been asked to run a script provided by a colleague. What is the best practice to ensure the script does not introduce malware into the system?
Run the script in a production environment to test its functionality.
Review the script code before executing it.
Execute the script since it came from a trusted colleague.
Use an antivirus program to scan the script and then execute it.
Before running any scripts from external sources, it is paramount to review the code to ensure there are no malicious activities embedded within the script. This helps prevent the introduction of malware into your system. Simply relying on the colleague's reputation or the source of the script is not sufficient in safeguarding against potential threats.
