The condition "Kali" or "Fedora" in result.stdout.strip() in v-finder3.0.py incorrectly evaluates to True under all conditions, since the expression checks the truthiness of the non-empty string "Kali" before evaluating "Fedora" in result.stdout.strip(). This results in a logical error, potentially leading to unintended behavior as it does not accurately check if the distribution names are present in the system's output.
Alternatively, for a more robust solution, Python's any() function combined with a generator expression can be used to efficiently check for multiple possible matches:
ifany(_distroinresult.stdout.strip() for_distroin ("Kali", "Fedora", "Some Other Distro")):
# ...
This approach not only resolves the logical error but also enhances the readability and maintainability of the code by simplifying the inclusion of additional distributions in the future.

Issue Description
The condition
"Kali" or "Fedora" in result.stdout.strip()
inv-finder3.0.py
incorrectly evaluates toTrue
under all conditions, since the expression checks the truthiness of the non-empty string"Kali"
before evaluating"Fedora" in result.stdout.strip()
. This results in a logical error, potentially leading to unintended behavior as it does not accurately check if the distribution names are present in the system's output.Affected Code:
Line 52 of
v-finder3.0.py
Proposed Solution
To address this issue, the conditional expression should be corrected to check each string separately. Here is a simple fix:
