The AWS Client VPN for Linux is only provided for Ubuntu as a .deb package. I need it for Fedora. This was tested on Fedora 33.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/clientvpn-user/client-vpn-connect-linux.html

Get the vpn client deb package.
```
curl https://d20adtppz83p9s.cloudfront.net/GTK/latest/awsvpnclient_amd64.deb -o awsvpnclient_amd64.deb
```

Install `alien` to convert the deb package to rpm.

Proposal: Node.js penetration test framework

Hi guys! Since I started to write Bluebox-ng I've been tracking the different security projects I found written in Node.js. Now we've published the first stable version we think it's the right moment to speak among us (and, of course, everyone interested in it :).

Why?

• I think we're rewriting the same stuff in our respective projects again and again. For example, almost any tool supports IPv6 because the functions we need are still not present in the Node core and the libraries I found (IMHO) were not enough.
• There're different projects implementing exactly the same thing, ie: port scanners.
• We're working in a too new environment, so we need to make it together.
