I saw this post and I was curious what was out there.

Id like to put my lab servers to work archiving US federal data thats likely to get pulled - climate and biomed data seems mostly likely. The most obvious strategy to me seems like setting up mirror torrents on academictorrents. Anyone compiling a list of at-risk data yet?

    isn’t this prone to a

     || rm -rf /

    or something similar at the end of the URL?

    if you can docker exec, you have a lot of privileges already, so be sure to make sure this is not a danger

      Thank you for the warning. You are correct. It’s prune to command injection. I will validate the URL before executing it. This shoud suffice until archivebox’s rest API is available in stable.
