Source: kam193 (d2ce56d3cbce6034dcebd88520ffec19a094c0888b7e797f66c46bc69e8d2eac) Installing the package or importing the module exfiltrates basic information about the host, and the package has no other purpose.

Category: PROBABLYPENTEST - Packages looking like typical pentest packages, but also anything that looks like testing, exploring pre-prepared kits, research & co, with clearly low-harm possibilities.

Campaign: GENERIC-standard-pypi-install-pentest

Reasons (based on the campaign):

- The package contains code to exfiltrate basic data from the system, like IP or username. It has a limited risk.

- The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.
