There are three recently opened issues in the software project. These issues do not seem to follow a specific theme or trend, but they are all significant in their own ways. Issue #223 is about a Black Friday deal from Exploit Pack, a notable advanced exploitation framework with 0days and over 39,000 exploits. This issue is significant as it involves a lifetime license upgrade, which is limited to only 10 licenses. Issue #221 is an update on a deal from Pulsedive, a threat intelligence platform. This issue is notable as it involves a 50% discount for 6 months of Pro with a specific code. Issue #217 is about deals from Security Blue Team (BLT). This issue is particularly problematic as the initial post lacked a link to the Black Friday deal, which was later updated.
There are no older open issues. However, there are 229 recently closed issues. These issues can be grouped into several themes: Black Friday deals, course or certification discounts, and product or service updates. For example, issue #215 is about a deal from TCM Security that has started, offering discounts on certifications and live trainings. Issue #213 is a request for discounts for specific courses or certifications such as CCNA, CEH, OSCP, and CISSP. Issue #184 is a discussion about the possibility of a 2023 edition of the software project or the creation of a fork.
The recently closed issues also include updates or corrections to product or service details, such as issue #60 which corrected the name of The Cyber Mentor (TCM) Security. Some issues remain open possibly due to ongoing discussions or pending updates.
The common theme among all open and recently closed issues is the focus on deals, discounts, and updates related to information security products, services, courses, and certifications.
