Today I learned: Python's .start Files as a Persistence Mechanism
Introduction Python 3.15 (the final release is currently scheduled for October 9, 2026) introduces a new interpreter-startup mechanism worth adding to the DFIR checklist: .start files.
A .start file placed in a Python site-packages directory contains one or more references in the form package.module:callable. During normal interpreter initialization, Python resolves those references, imports the corresponding modules, and invokes the callables before control reaches the first line of user-supplied Python code. The application itself does not need to import the module and does not need to know that the .start file exists. From a security perspective, that makes .start files an interesting execution primitive. An attacker who can write to an applicable site-packages directory can arrange for code to execute whenever an affected Python interpreter starts. Depending on where the file is placed, this may affect a single virtual environment, a user’s Python installations, or a system-wide interpreter.
