Package tests possible malicious actions during installation by starting notepad. There is no other functionality, it's clearly a test of possible malicious actions.

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.
