Removed from npm

Blocked by Socket

The code reads sensitive system information, including the '/etc/passwd' file, and sends it over the network to a dynamically generated external domain that is likely used for collecting data from compromised systems. The use of insecure HTTPS settings and the nature of the transmitted data suggest a high probability of malicious behavior and a security risk.

The code snippet shows several potential anomalies: unusual module names that might indicate typo or unfamiliar libraries, and the usage of a `functame` method whose behavior is not defined in this snippet. This raises suspicion about the origin and intent of these modules, suggesting the need for further review of these dependencies. Without more information on these modules, it's difficult to assess the full scope of potential security risks.
