I am comparing BackBox and Kali currently. In both communities I have seen a lot of outdated tools/packages.

As I peruse through the tools to learn more about them and check out some of the source code, some are over 3 years old, not fully developed, or link to malicious sites.

I am curious as to iff all the tools listed are distributed with Kali, is there some sort of "clean up" or poking dead repo's with a stick test?

I understand I could very well just ignore these tools when working but, I would hate to think of the bloat, potential harm and confusion just throwing everything into the distro could cause.

Let me know if there is something I'm missing, thanks.
