Linux Parrot 4.6, new version of the operating system for pentesters

When we require working with a functional operating system for security analysis and ethical hacking, cybersecurity experts consider that Parrot Linux is, together with BlackArch, one of the best options available, even though there are also Windows-based options.

The developers of Parrot Linux have just
launched version 4.6 of this operating system, which has some substantial
improvements such as KDE Desktop, support for OpenNIC, among others. According
to cybersecurity specialists, this new version is launched just three months
after development and is considered a relevant achievement for the team in charge
of the project.

Parrot Linux
has different versions, each with different scopes and objectives. The
Home/Workstation version provides security experts with a light environment for
everyday use, while the Secure version offers a comprehensive system for
penetration testing, forensics and reverse engineering.

Also, for users unfamiliar with computer
security research, Parrot Home Version is the ideal choice.

According to cybersecurity specialists from the
International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS), Parrot 4.6 has a new ISO
image based on KDE Plasma, available with Home and Secure versions.

In terms of design, the new home and desktop
background animation are also updated. Although the themes and the system icon
remain the same, the appearance has been updated a bit.

To proportionally release users and allow
domain resolution of some special domains, Anonsurf has an option to change
default DNS servers to OpenNIC DNS resolvers.

According to the cybersecurity specialists of
the International Institute of Cyber Security (IICS) Nvidia drivers are also
updated to the new version 410 to provide better performance.

Finally, the team behind Parrot works steadily
to remodel the sandbox environment to make it more stable and reliable than in
previous versions.
