In our lists of the most popular and best operating systems for ethical hacking purposes, Parrot Security OS is often listed as the best alternative to the well known Kali Linux. Back in October, we witnessed a big release of this OS, i.e., Parrot Security 3.2 CyberSloop.
As a Christmas gift to ethical hackers, Frozenbox Network has unveiled a minor release in the form of Parrot Security 3.3, which is “just a working snapshot of the bigger work.”
“We are sorry for all the silence behind our development process of these days, but we were secretly working on 2 main projects,” the announcement says.
As expected, this Debian GNU/Linux 9 Stretch-based release fixes many small bugs and introduces new updates. The blog post also mentions the upcoming Parrot 3.4 release that’s supposed to be a bigger release.
