No source code repository. Unless there's one, this will not be packaged by the team or any contributor.

Hi Arszilla,

Thank you for the honest feedback and for taking the time to review the submission. I understand and respect Kali's packaging policies and the need for fully open, publicly accessible source code.

For now, we'll be focusing our immediate efforts on other distribution channels that align with our current development and release model. Should our approach to public source availability change in the future, I'll certainly revisit the possibility of submitting to Kali again.

Appreciate your time and consideration.

Hello @RichardBarron27,

thank you for your submission, but we'll have to decline.

Broadly speaking, we don't and we can't package every possible infosec tools in Kali. So we prioritize tools that already have a notoriety of some sort, a proven userbase, some kind of maturity, etc. It also helps if the software is developed in the open, so that we can assess what the tool is, what it does, and see what the wider infosec community thinks of it.

Best of luck with your project!
