code-suggester @1.0.0

Summary

To avoid detection, the real code is put in a ZIP archive and includes also some VM-detection techniques. The malicious code is activated via metaclass set for the "install" command class in setup.py Over the time, techniques used in packages are slightly changing, including that some of marked packages don't have malicious part, but rather are used only for tests. --- Category: MALICIOUS - The campaign has clearly malicious intent, like infostealers.
