We have already spoken numerous times about Linux distributions such as Kali Linux, DEFT or Santoku, focused on security. They are distros that incorporate a large number of pre-installed apps to perform security audits, digital forensics, perform pentesting tests, in short, ethical hacking in general. Among all of them, we have also specifically talked about Parrot Security or ParrotSec, and now we announce that a new RC of Parrot Security OS 3.0 codenamed Lithium.
It is undoubtedly up to date and brings a great toolkit for computer security. The team Frozenbox Network has done a great development task and the final product is the one that you can download for free from the official website of this Linux distro. We will certainly be attentive and eager for new releases and evolutions of this one. At the moment we can test this update of the operating system focused on computer security.
For those of you who don't know it yet, it is a distro based on GNU / Linux, specifically on Debian 8 "Jessie" Stable. Therefore, it has a great, solid, robust foundation and a great community behind it. But those of the Frozenbox team have made an effort to also add all this great selection of hacking tools and you do not have to install practically anything: from forensics, cryptography, anonymity, reverse engineering, cloud pentesting, privacy, and other hacking operations.
Parrot Security OS 3.0 "Lithium" can be downloaded in 6 different editions. If you want, you can play it safe and try the stable version, 2.2.1, or decide on this Release Candidate for 3.0. The available editions of both are Cloud, Full, Standard, both 32-bit and 64-bit. It includes 100% free software, a light LXDE environment, Lightweight X11 Desktop Enviroment, improvements, package updates and of course some bugs corrected compared to previous versions. So… go ahead, download it now and give it a try.
To download the distro then. :)
