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.

It has a limited risk. - The package overrides the install command in setup.py to execute malicious code during installation.
