Lorenzo Faletra has announced the release of Parrot Security OS 3.2, the latest release of the project's specialist distribution, based on Debian's "Testing" branch, featuring tools for penetration testing, computer forensics, reverse engineering, hacking, privacy and cryptography: "We have finished all the work on Parrot 3.2 and we are now proud to announce its official release. This new version comes after a long while due to some buggy packages in the Debian 'Testing' repository that we were forced to fix on our own (it's about the latest GTK+ updates that broke the MATE interface). We wanted this release to be just an improved version of the past release, but we were able to introduce some new interesting features, a new Linux 4.7 kernel, a more accurate set of pre-installed software and a more comfortable but familiar environment. We are also happy to welcome the University of Crete as a new mirror provider." Here is the brief release announcement. Parrot Security OS 3.2 is available in several specialist editions; here is a link to the "Full" flavour: Parrot-full-3.2_amd64.iso (3,657MB, SHA512, pkglist). |

Distribution Release: Parrot 6.2 |
 |
Parrot (formerly Parrot Security OS) is a Debian-based, security-oriented distribution featuring a collection of utilities designed for penetration testing, computer forensics, reverse engineering, hacking, privacy, anonymity and cryptography. The project's latest release, version 6.2, introduces several package upgrades and a new tool called Rocket. "Parrot team is happy to introduce you to Rocket, a launcher written entirely in Python using PyQt6 for the GUI, to launch Docker containers, specifically some security tools in our repository on Docker Hub (and others, from other repositories). This application runs on ParrotOS, but is also compatible with other distributions, and can also run on Windows and MacOS. It only requires the installation of docker.io to interface with Docker and allow the user to manage containers. Instead of typing and downloading a specific tool, through Rocket you can select a tool from the list, and then downloading the Docker image and launching the container is taken care of by the application."

Parrot 5.0 was designed with cloud and customizability in mind, and provides several container options to leverage powerful orchestration tools during complex pentest scenarios. The Parrot offering has been simplified, and a new Architect edition has been introduced to allow maximum customizability of the system. Parrot 5.0 keeps the former Home and Security editions, and introduces a new special HTB edition inspired by the popular PwnBox by HackTheBox. The KDE and Xfce alternatives are no longer available."

Distribution Release: Parrot 4.11 |
 |
The Parrot team have announced a new version, 4.11, of the distributions Home and Security editions. Parrot is based on Debian's "Testing" branch and features a wide range of updates, particularly to the kernel. "Linux 5.10 is the default kernel of this new Parrot version, with better hardware support for very recent hardware. We plan to release Linux 5.11 as soon as possible as a later update. We have finally purged many old, broken and unmaintained tools, and revisited many of the existing ones. Our tool metapackages were revisited as well to reflect this little revolution. Parrot 4.11 provides cleaner metapackages, updated tools and a more consistent repository. Previous Parrot versions used to have un-needed services shut down by default, but such services happened to re-enable randomly after system updates. We have enforced some systemd rules to prevent this happening." Further information on Parrot 4.11 can be found in the project's release notes.

Distribution Release: Parrot 4.9 |
 |
Lorenzo Faletra has announced the release of Parrot 4.9, the latest stable version of the project's distribution set based on Debian's "Testing" branch. It comes in "Home" and "Security" editions both of which are available with either KDE Plasma or MATE desktops. "Parrot 4.9 is now available for download and it ships some important updates we are particularly proud of. Some new features introduced in Parrot 4.8 has also introduced some weird bugs that required some extra time to be spotted and fixed. We originally wanted to release Parrot 4.8.1 to address them, but then a huge amount of updates from Debian, like the removal of many Python 2 libraries and tools and the introduction of a new Linux kernel version made the 4.9 release a more appealing idea. We have also introduced a new, more friendly installer and a new look and feel to the login screen to make the system more appealing to newcomers and more comfortable for those users already aboard."
