Kali Linux moves to GitLab

I am thrilled to see the article on Kali moving to GitLab finally published.  It was great to collaborate with the folks from Kali as I have been a fan of it for years!

How GitLab helped Kali Linux attract a growing number of community contributions

Since moving to GitLab in 2019, Kali Linux has gone from company-only contributions to a growing number of community contributions.

Kali Linux is a well-loved Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at advanced Penetration Testing and Security Auditing. We sat down with Ben Wilson (@g0tmi1k), senior developer at Kali, to hear more about why Kali Linux moved to GitLab and see if they've noticed any changes to their project since adopting GitLab as their DevOps solution.

The psychology of influence and hacking growth

 I finished two books recently on the related topics of hacking growth and the psychology of influence.   My notes and excerpts are below.  They surely do not do the books justice as the books include essential details and great stories about these concepts in action.

I find that this allows me to provide feedback without interrupting whoever is speaking. I am working on interrupting people less, slowing down my pace, and pausing more often. This is to increase the clarity of what I am communicating while also increasing my emotional intelligence. I am getting real-time feedback on this via a system called Poised . In particular, rather than interrupting a speaker when I have something to say, I am trying to indicate that via non-verbal communication via video. Photo by iyus sugiharto on Unsplash
