How secure is it to use curl commands to exploit a website?

Question

I'm following an arbitrage method to game a hedge fund's exchange but it involves using a curl command. Before going through with it, what are all the implications of doing it?

Answer 1

Hi Lufes,

The cURL is the most primitive but also powerful command line tool to make HTTP/HTTPS requests to any kind of APIs you can find. It is not much different than using a programming language and its respective libraries.

Therefore, I can say that it does not have any implications. If you want to use some UI, you can try Postman tool or similar browser extensions for ease of use.

In the end of the day they are all the same in the core.

I hope this answer helps.
