When running the module, basic information about the user and its location are collected and sent to the author. This is hidden from the user as the package prints a message suggesting it's outdated.

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: 2024-09-botnetv2

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.

  • A Telegram webhook is used to send collected data.
