It looks like something between spam and pentest as the website is most probably not in the control of the uploader. The package has no other purpose 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.
