'Name' => 'Python Site-Specific Hook Persistence',
'Description' => %q{
This module leverages Python's startup mechanism, where some files can be automically processed during the initialization of the Python interpreter. One of those files are startup hooks (site-specific, dist-packages). If these files are present in site-specific or dist-packages directories, any lines beginning with import will be executed automatically. This creates a persistence mechanism, if an attacker has established access to target machine with sufficient permissions.
