Starting version 1.0.7, the package contains obfuscated code and embedded binary that is executed during the import, sharing many similarities with package oxntime. The embedded seems to act as a guard for further execution, with some sandbox evasion techniques and time-based actions.

Prior to 1.0.7, the package offered obfuscation techniques.
