catala VS Metasploit

Programming and law can go together tho https://github.com/CatalaLang/catala

Law is a mess, in part because its authors take shortcuts. For example, from the first example on CatalaLang's README.md:

> If the property was acquired by gift [and various conditions apply], then for the purpose of determining loss the basis shall be such fair market value. [emphasis added]

I think (and I'm not a lawyer or a tax expert) that this means that the basis of an asset can have a different value for the purpose of determining gain or determining loss. Wow, basis isn't just a number, although one might not notice this if one didn't read the six emphasized words.

But the Catala code seems to completely ignore this. Oops. I filed an issue:

https://github.com/CatalaLang/catala/issues/514

In a real use case, I imagine that substantial refactoring of the parts that consume basis might be needed when one notices that the basis is not a number.

Catals is a language trying to exactly this.

There's even a programming language for that: https://catala-lang.org/

Metasploit

Metasploit: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework

1-) Learn Hacking on a debian based distro like Kali Linux - I personally started with tools like nikto, camhacker... and then moved to more complex frameworks like metasploit.

I once had to give a presentation about Metasploit, and whether it was ethically correct for the creator to make it free and open-source, available to everyone. And in researching this I realized that there were a lot of parallels between the arguments for or against hacking tools being readily available and the arguments for or against gun control. I'll just list a few quickly:

Metasploit Framework (mentioned earlier)

This phase is where the pen testers practically prove that there exist potential vulnerabilities in the target system. The pen testers do the hacking using an array of technical approaches and social engineering methods to exploit the vulnerabilities. The ethical hackers commonly use Metasploit framework to automatically execute exploitation against the target systems. Moreover, they may install malwares such as rootkit to persistently maintain their foothold and further compromise the target system.
