+Hi, if you're reading this you're probably wondering what this code is doing on
+your machine. Don't worry! It doesn't do anything nasty or malicious.
+
+I am an ethical security researcher, attempting attacks against organisations
+that have a "bug bounty" type program in place.
+
+I am performing work similar to the work in this blog post:
+https://medium.com/@alex.birsan/dependency-confusion-4a5d60fec610
+
+If your organisation has a bug bounty program my findings will be reported via
+that program.
+
+If your organisation does not have a bug bounty program, you were not targeted
+by my work and have some how ended up getting included, any data reported from
+your org will be discarded.
+
+All data I collect will be deleted as soon as I'm done, in either case.
+
+If you are reading this then you probably need to tighten up your Gemfiles
+and/or upgrade Bundler, see here for more details:
+
+https://bundler.io/blog/2021/02/15/a-more-secure-bundler-we-fixed-our-source-priorities.html
+
+You can read the code to confirm this but here's a top-level view of what it
+does to help you out:
+
+Grabs the hostname(s), current username, and the file paths to this script,
+the current working directory, and the home directory. This helps me identify
+which machines have been affected (for reporting), at which organisation (to
+know who to report it to), and to eliminate false positives from machines that
+fetch and install every Gem.
+
+Generates a random ID so I can piece together the different fragments of data.
+
+Encodes all the data as json, compresses it, Base32 encodes it, and chops it
+into chunks to go out as DNS queries that will hit a nameserver I control.
+
+That's it!
+
+If you have any questions or want to get in touch for any reason, you can reach
+me at zofrex@gmail.com
