TLDR? Last paragraph is most pertinent.


I read this, whilst still chortling at the opus @Chris had pen-ned about 
testing.

Then one of the guys from my old unit rang. He was grumbling (even 
though Americans are typically less familiar with the British 
expression: grumpy, old men - it suits us). He wanted to know if we have 
been "infected" over here (we have), his complaint was about the rising 
fashion for "Singles Day", and "doesn't 11 and 11 mean either 22 or 4? 
So, what's 'single' about that?". Guess he has a point, how come 'they' 
didn't at least 'downgrade' to choosing 1/1? Some (other) significance 
to the numbers perhaps?

Evidently Remembrance Day/Veterans' Day can have different meanings, as 
per "pen-testing".

Similarly, an irony: the OP hasn't fronted to say whether (s)he has 
'white hat' or 'black hat' ambitions; just as the contemplation of war 
and peace brings one to consider how the motives behind the possibility 
of single-selfishness today, contrast markedly from those of accepting 
the suffering and sacrifice which helped to make this world what it is.

To distract from the above conversational tone, I mentioned the 'armor' 
deflection-pieces (there's probably a name for these, but we didn't use 
"armor" (I'm not THAT old) - nor did we have kevlar vests!). The laconic 
reply was that "No, but when you're the target of attack, we'd 
burrow-down attempting to hide behind the smallest pebble". Almost the 
same thing then?


However, we're here to discuss Python:
A 'security' colleague commented that there is a Linux 
distro/distribution, "Kali" (another name with opportunity for 
ambiguity!). Apparently, "Kali is designed for pen-testing - and there 
are likely many associated Python scripts, because Python is a language 
so well suited to fast-developing situations!". YMMV...
