Importing the module triggers sending out the hostname to the package author. It looks to be a placeholder/pentest activity related to BytedDance.

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: 2024-11-0wn-sh
