Noob question: Could someone make e.g. an executable linkin park - numb.mp3 file on Linux by giving it execute permissions? Probably not by downloading, but by replacing the file with a duped one.
Also the .mp3.exe trick and the likes could be easily detected by any security software easily, like Windows Defender.
