During installation, if a machine is Mac, an obfuscated code attempts to download and execute a shell script. Currently, the server does not respond. --- 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.
