Summary
The package's top-level __init__.py imports starts.py, which is a single-line loader that reverses a ~100KB string literal, base64-decodes it, marshal.loads the result into a code object, and exec()s it. All actual functionality is concealed behind reversal + base64 + marshal bytecode obfuscation, with an empty README and empty PKG-INFO description. The obfuscated code object runs automatically on import proxycer, so any behavior it contains (credential access, outbound network, filesystem writes, persistence) executes on the installer's host without source visibility.
