Create a user with very limited privileges, (i.e. not a member of any
group in common with anyone else), limited executable directories, and
definitely no sudo rights. Use that id to download, and unzip in their
directories. Have a few short text files in their directories, and look
for any changes to them.

Be sure to use ls -la to see if there are any new .files - these may be
perfectly legitimate, unless they're ... (three or more dots, designed to
masquerade as directory names).

Only put the programs into general use directories after they've run
benignly.
