This package contains a tool to compare two versions of a code‑base, highlight lines changed by vendor, and explain why they matter. Feed the tool an old and a patched version; PatchLeaks spots the security fix and provides detailed description so you can validate—or weaponize—it fast.

Only use this tool against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.

Getting started

Install on Kali Linux with `sudo apt install patchleaks`. See the official Kali tool page and upstream homepage linked above for full usage and configuration details.
