Campaign data

Campaign information may not always be 100% accurate for every related package.

Campaign description

During installation, the package collects quite extensive information about the host and has no other purpose. To avoid detection, the real code is put in a ZIP archive and includes also some VM-detection techniques. The malicious code is activated via metaclass set for the "install" command class in setup.py

Over the time, techniques used in packages are slightly changing, including that some of marked packages don't have malicious part, but rather are used only for tests.

See more details on the campaign page.
