Yeah I’m not saying its perfect and LLMs are non-deterministic so it could give you some crap. How do you verify some random stranger from the internet wasn’t an asshole and gave you malicious config? 🤷 The best answer is probably just that OP should heed the warning on the website the linked, if they have no confidence or relevant skills:

THIS IS DELIBERATELY MALICIOUS SOFTWARE INTENDED TO CAUSE HARMFUL ACTIVITY. DO NOT DEPLOY IF YOU AREN’T FULLY COMFORTABLE WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

There is no guarantee either, but on a public forum at least a couple of eyes look at it too. Not saying that this makes it trust worthy. But a LLM usually words it output very direct and saying “this is the absolut truth” which can lead to a much higher trust relation then a stranger on a forum that writes “maybe try this”.

I generelly would not recommend using the llm for potential security related questions (or important or professionally questions) were your own knowledge is not big enough to quickly vet the output.
