    Details: Source: kam193 (26b5ad1d170ede931c108f8a9d4342347b2983ae9fc5330b25ddb1dcc4132eb7) Package tests possible malicious actions during installation by starting notepad. There is no other functionality, it's clearly a test of possible malicious actions. Category: PROBABLY_PENTEST - 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-simple-tests Reasons (based on the campaign): - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.
