You can run it directly if you cut/paste this in your mac terminal...

Is there any irony in a thread on browser malware that includes a "please run this bash script blind"?

Not that I don't trust you, but between now and when someone stumbles on this thread, your domain could expire and I could publish something crazy at that url.

This is why I put the raw url to the script first in my comment. Downloading the script file, doing a chmod +x and then a ./script.sh to execute it is daunting for some.

But I'll add a caveat to my original comment as well.

edit: Looks like I can't edit my original comment anymore.
