Live on npm

Blocked by Socket

The code collects a large amount of system information and sends it to a remote server. This is often a sign of a backdoor or spyware, particularly given the obfuscation present in the code. Given these facts, and the fact that the IP address is hard-coded and does not point to a well-known service, it's very likely that this script is malicious.
