For the new ppl here to the community, just wanna say welcome! This is an exciting time to find your way to the Fediverse. It's a massive network and has potential to be even larger. I see so many new and interesting communities pop up daily with members that are here to share knowledge and collaborate with others as well simply be social and chat, even large social platforms are now finding their way to the Fediverse as well.

Threads by Instagram/Facebook is now part of this huge space. This is a great thing, I feel with large social platforms finding their way here network stability will increase. There's some cons to this too. We all know when big business moves to town the ads come as well. What is everyone's thoughts on this? 🐈‍⬛

The GNOME Project has a an amazing new tool, Warp. It is similar to Warpinator however I find it integrates much better and even with Windows.

Warp allows you to securely send files to each other via the internet or local network by exchanging a word-based code.

The best transfer method will be determined using the “Magic Wormhole” protocol which includes local network transfer if possible.

Features

• Send files between multiple devices
• Every file transfer is encrypted
• Directly transfer files on the local network if possible
• An internet connection is required
• QR Code support
• Compatibility with the Magic Wormhole command line client and all other compatible apps

For all Android users, you can get the app Wormhole and use Warp to transfer files, documents, photos and more. Family, friends, and colleagues as well can download the app and share the same. Remember to always practice good security and never accept files from those your unfamiliar with and thus far this tool h

Frida should be a very helpful toolbox for anyone interested in dynamic instrumentation and/or reverse-engineering. There are now language bindings for Node.js, Python, Swift, .NET, Qt/Qml, Go, and it is also possible to use Frida from C.

For the those that want to do more with their Android device. Feel free to drop in the new Termux Community.

https://github.com/pygame/stuntcat This is a silly, yet entertaining, fork of py.game in the GitHub community and for those looking to just build upon their python skills and build something entertaining you can fetch the code and begin. Also if your just looking to play around with this model its available to play as well. 🐈‍⬛

Samy is a legend and still makes waves in the hacking space. He's co-founder of OpenSource Securtiy and his Github has plenty to keep someone interested and busy applying and honing their skills. SkyJack is one of my personal faves, using drones to hijack other drones as well as wireless mice and keyboards from a distance then remotely breaching the connected PC. This is just one of the many projects in his repo. Go check it out and have fun...responsibly. 🐈‍⬛

There are those that say a picture is worth a thousand words...meh, I require only two...for those interested you can help Christian (Apollo app) refund the yearly premium subscribers of Apollo by getting what may be the last of Apollo merch here https://cottonbureau.com/people/apollo also you can apply the promo RIPAPOLLO for a 10% discount. I'm as of now unsure how to support the devs and Narwhal community but there are talks on various forums, once I find out more I will post the info here. Much respect to those that stand with and contribute to this irrational move by Huffman. 🐈‍⬛

I just checked the and noticed Polygon has been steadily decreasing in value since Huffman's ridiculous price for use of the API....well ya know. Now for the creators there their once valuable avatar NFT's are slowly beginning to take a tumble and feel the heat as well.

Thought this article was quite fitting. Also I noticed Christian from Apollo has got some Apollo merch for sale at a discount to cover refunds to the Apollo app premium members. Use promo code RIPAPOLLO and you get 10% off at his site. I find this truly bad for the platform and don't see it recovering anytime in the near future. Its good to have another platform (here) and kickstart something that I hope to see go mainstream and be a wonderful and valuable asset to others. 🐈‍⬛

Before beginning this post personal preference is the end result. However that's not what this post is about, rather its to share thoughts and experiences using either or both these distros.

I'm not biased, in fact, I use many many pen-testing distributions (Arch, RedHat, Athena, Kali and yes Parrot).

Here are my findings as well as others:

1. Kali is more stable, reliable, and often faster ***
2. Kali is just as versatile as Parrot from Live USB to the large Everything pkg
3. Kali has more support than Parrot

*** Recently a poll was conducted and other pen-testers voiced that they too found Kali to be more stable, reliable, and faster. If you do any search to confirm this you'll find the results stating Parrot to be just as fast. This isn't the case in the field. 🐲

The poll also ranked the best pen-testing hacking distos. Kali took first. Parrot beat my beloved BlackArch which now with Windows integration of WSL fell to Windows and came in dead last.

Regardless, a poll isn't

We're back...kick rocks Steve Huffman!

Now for this much better and inviting community:

To Exit Vim <:q!> ...Your Welcome ;-P 🐈‍⬛
