Summary0009762: new tool LUFA
Description

Lufa - Network scanning and port detection tool

Dear Kali Linux team,

I would like to propose a new tool for inclusion in the Kali Linux repository.

Lufa
Repository: https://github.com/lufaowner/Lufa
License: GPLv3

Lufa is a lightweight, Python-based utility designed for network reconnaissance. It focuses on two core tasks: identifying active hosts on a local network and performing efficient port checks.

Why it is useful:
While there are many complex scanning tools available, Lufa aims to provide a highly focused and simplified workflow for basic network auditing. Its minimal footprint and straightforward logic make it a reliable companion for quick network reconnaissance tasks.

The project is fully open source, documented, and actively maintained. I would appreciate your feedback on the possibility of packaging Lufa for the Kali Linux distribution.

Thank you for your time and for all the work you do for the security community.

Best regards,
LUFA team

Hello,

Thanks for your submission. We can’t package every infosec tool, so we prioritize those with wider adoption and community usage.

Best of luck with your project.
