These are genuine factory tools supplied by chip vendors such as Silicon Motion, supposedly under NDA, leaked and passed around loosely among Chinese factories. These things are sometimes repacked with malware installers, so blindly running on your dev machine with AWS keys might not be the best idea. Trying to run it on Linux, macOS, or rewriting in Rust might not be great too.

It doesn't happen in the West because manufacturing happens in China in Chinese language. I suppose it's easier for Russian guys to (figuratively) walk into their smoke room and ask for the USB key.
