Package suggests a code to build bots; however, the code just exfiltrates the token given by the user to the hardcoded Discord webhook. Looking at other activity on the account, it's either research or forgotten WIP/test.

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.
