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.

The provided functionality hides code that exfiltrates files to a remote location.
