This is a print from a school distributed by the Walsall Council , a municipality located in Walsall, West Midlands, England. At the bottom of the print are the 'ROCU' and 'NCA' logos. The NCA is the UK's National Crime Agency , and the ROCU is West Midlands ROCU , an organization organized by local police forces, such as Staffordshire, West Midlands, West Marcia and Warwickshire, to fight organized crime throughout the region. In other words, the print was made by a British government agency and distributed via local government to schools where children go.
The title of the print is 'Which is in the child's computer?' For Tor Browser , a web browser that enables anonymous communication, `` Browser used for browsing the dark web '', for virtual machine `` Hide OS such as Kali Linux in a place that is not normally found What can I do ?, Kali Linux for `` OS used for hacking '', Wi-Fi Pineapple for `` a toolkit that can collect confidential computer information via the Internet '', and Gamer's chat system Discord for `` 'A communication platform that is often used to share hacking tips,' and Metasploit as 'a penetration tool that makes hacking simpler.'
@G_IW, who uploaded a photo of this print on Twitter, states, “This complete junk was distributed to schools through the local government's Walsall Council. Too astounding: I'm proud that if I had one of these software on my child's PC, the child would have learned how to use it, except for Discord, because Discord Is software that has nothing to do with hacking. '
_G_IW's tweet has been retweeted about 3000 times and has collected over 8000 likes, but even more interesting comments are gathered in the reply section.
Kali Linux's official Twitter account states, 'I need to admit that it's great to provide a roadmap to show children where to start. The easiest way to get kids to do something is Tell them you can't or shouldn't, and then post a list of things you shouldn't do.The problem is that they didn't list the Kali Linux online manual . ' He pointed out that the prints issued by NCA and ROCU, on the contrary, make children closer to hacking.
Have to admit it's sort of nice they give kids a roadmap on where to get started.We all know the easiest way to get a kid to do something is to tell them they can't or should not, then they list specific item not to do. To bad they did not link to https://t.co/PsPfjHrXcr

The Twitter account GC_and_Tech says, 'I want to meet the 'Genius' who made this print. This print was created for something like 'Heavy Metal Creates Devil Followers' or 'Video Games Create Murder Devil' You must have thoughts, don't let ignorance deal with genres they don't understand! '
I want to meet the 'genious' behind this leaflet.I bet this was written by one of those people who also believe that heavy metal will make you a satanist and video games a serial killer!

Do not let ignorant deal with topics they do not comprehend! #Ignorance #cybersecurity
'Too ignorant. The skills in working with these software can help build a great career in information security. If I find these softwares on my child's computer, they will help my child It's even better for parents than to find out where their children are using illegal drugs. Learning about information security is great! '
Ignorance.This could lead to a very well paying career in infosec.I would support my kid if I found this on their computer.Better help parents find out if kids are doing DRUGS.DRUGS are bad, learning infosec is fine !!

'It's more likely you're using Discord for Dungeons and Dragons than to learn about hacking,' he said.
There's a greater chance your kid is using discord to play D & D than learn to hack.

'What a shame, all of these tools are for legitimate uses. For example, virtual machines are a great way for children to learn about Linux (including Kali Linux) and prepare for the high-paid career in computer engineering. It's such a ridiculous ignorance and terrible point! '
Such an embarrassment. Those are all tools for various legitimate uses.VMs, for example, are how your kids can learn about Linux (Kali, too) to prepare themselves for a high-paying career in computer engineering.

'After Brexit, the UK seems to be looking for enemies above the EU. The UK / Tor & Linux & virtual machine UK / Infinity War will soon begin.'
After the #Brexit , it seems like the UK is looking for more enemies than the EU.
— EdParadox (@EdParadox) February 13, 2020
Soon, 'UK vs. #Tor , #Linux , #VirtualBox -UK Infinity War'.
'If you are smart enough to use such software, you should be able to change the icon and hide the software.'
If a kid is smart enough to be using these, then they will also be smart enough to change the display symbol and also hide the program.

'I watched several hours of' hacking tutorial 'videos on YouTube, as if they were comprehended by someone who came to know what they were. Do some serious research or hire a consultant. Should be. '
This looks like it was put together by someone who spent a few hours watching 'hacking tutorials' on YouTube and has no real understanding of what any of those things are or how they work.

Seriously, @WalsallCouncil do some actual research or hire a consultant.
Please note that at the end of the print, 'If you have these software on your child's computer or if you feel your child is hacked, please contact us. We will help your child on the right path.' Have been.
