bash-guard: Block Dangerous Commands in Claude Code

2026-03-07 · By Boucle

Claude Code can run any bash command. bash-guard intercepts dangerous ones before they execute.

What it blocks

  • rm -rf /, rm -rf ~, rm -rf * (critical path deletion)
  • chmod -R 777, chmod -R 000 (dangerous permissions)
  • curl ... | bash, wget ... | sh (pipe to shell)
  • sudo anything (privilege escalation)
  • kill -9 -1, killall -9 (broad kill signals)
  • dd of=/dev/sda, mkfs (disk operations)
  • Redirects to /etc/, /usr/ (system writes)
  • eval "$variable" (code injection)
  • npm install -g (global installs)

Safe variants pass through: rm -rf ./build, chmod 644 file.txt, kill -9 12345.

Install

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bande-a-Bonnot/Boucle-framework/main/tools/bash-guard/install.sh | bash

Or all four hooks:

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bande-a-Bonnot/Boucle-framework/main/tools/install.sh | bash -s -- all
