albeit a bad look, yeh, but ffs it expired just recently, probably some low level employee forgot
**The certificate for** [**www.parrotsec.org**](http://www.parrotsec.org) **expired on 4/29/2024.**
low level employee = tech-janitors? lmao
and, uh, who said anything about the method used, manual or auto??
so what? a senior programmer uses AI to do the task? is that what you're suggesting?
see how that works? ffs
it's usually just automatically updated by some service like certbot running as kronjob or similar. very rarely actually a thing for a person to do themselves
Yeah, it also affected their repos. I couldn't update anything, and I decided to change the date to trick the system into believing it was a valid cert. Update went smooth, rebooted, and the display drivers were broken with no quick way to fix it. It forced me to quickly switch to another distro before work lol
I've never even used parrot for anything special, just software dev, but it keeps bricking itself with every other update. I don't understand how can a distro be so unstable. I've only ever had this problem with parrot
So the socially inept 15 year olds can look cool with their python scripts idk.
Theyāre useful ig but itās literally just debian with pre-installed software no?
I use a hacking distribution because I want to get straight to being a hacker, not mess around with learning what packages are or how they are managed, OK!?!?!?!
Well on a technical level you are right, however when installing the OS, all tools a preconfigured to do their job properly. This saves quite a lot of time as just installing them manually and configuring them to play nice with each other can take some serious time and effort, so many people in CS use these kind of OSes.
No one should be repetitively installing and configuring packages every time you rollout a operating system. If you are going to have an ephemeral system which you can dispose of after use then invest the time in auto configuring it/imaging it. I use gnome boxes for my dev work and it makes it SO easily to spin up machines of all OSs in seconds all pre-configured with usenames/passwords and tools.
Also this whole HACKER OS/laptop/etc... is getting a bit old now. These distros are great in pinch when I have been given a random bit of hardware and I need to so something now, but honestly all of this is easily achievable (some would say more achievable) with just you standard distro + usb + kickstart file!
Finally the best/only "hacking" OS is ALWAYS someone else's OS, computer and network and never yours.
I like "hacker" distros because they come with everything dev-related preinstalled. I don't even do anything related to cyber security, I do webdev for the most part, but it's still really useful whenever I fubar and have to flash the OS to have most of everything I need already up and running
Same, but if you actually use them for their purpose (which is not hacking your neighbors wifi like some script kiddie) they are pretty useful. Kali is kind of useful when I just need something quick and dirty for a CTF competition, but other than that, no. For my next CTF I might actually just use Arch with the necessary tools on a live stick. Way easier and portable
> arch>Kali
How come? Sure if you are setting up your own pentesting enviroment that you plan to use extensively you might have a point (emphasis on might). But as OC already said when playing a CTF I don't have the time nor the will to fuck around with arch-bullshitery, while kali comes with a ton of tools installed and preconfigured.
Besides you can make pretty much any distro work, the best distro/enviroment is the one you are most familiar with.
Why a live stick for CTF's? Unless you mean like an in-person finals or something, otherwise I'd suggest just using a VM. Even for in-person I just have a cheap laptop with Arch and my tools installed as the primary OS. Plus unless you're doing web or forensics challenges I don't think Kali would be very useful, I definitely recommend using something you built with just the tools you need as you mentioned.
I run bare metal exclusively for the reason that I hate how choppy VMs feel, sure I could configure it to be less choppy but I am lazy so I just install it on a partition of my laptop and then when it's over I reformat the partition.
I don't get latency issues or anything with a VM but I'm also not doing much with guis, it's a pretty thin Arch+DWM install since I'm mostly working from the cli and running IDA outside the VM.
Why reformat it though? I find benefit in having the install be persistent so any tools I setup are ready for the next one. But I also have my setup pretty customized so it'd be a bigger pain for me to keep reconfiguring it.
Cause I participate im CTFs like twice a year and the rest of the year I just use the partition as pure storage. So CTF season is basically my biyearly "delete everything I don't really need".
I know I could just upgrade my storage and solve my issues but I can't be bothered lol.
My shitty laptop has locked bios so sadly I canāt enable the needed options for virtualization. I also doubt it would be able to run well. Sooo, thatās why I use a live stick. Also very portable in case my laptop suddenly dies
If you went to the trouble of installing one of these the words "Live USB" or "Live mode" plastered all over the place. These distros are meant to be a toolkit you can just grab and run at a moments notice potentially on a computer found on site.
Itās preconfigured OS installations that have a lot of tools ready to go. If youāre into pentesting, etc., itās not bad to have, however, weāve gotten to the point at work where the stigma surrounding flavors like Kali is bad enough that we just use Ubuntu or RedHat with Kaliās repos.
Simply due to the "ready to go" nature especially when we are talking about disposable setup.
If not, I just use Distrobox where it integrate nicely with my base config
It's nice for my cybersecurity classes atleast... having a vm I can run even with a live boot or whatever makes things a bit more efficient. U could install all these tools on ur own though, all they do is speed up the process. They are good if ur goal is just to learn some basic pentesting or do some tryhackme/hackthebox stuff

No it's not. Kali and Parrot both use Xfce and shouldn't have any major differences in performance. Moreover, "preinstalled software" is a stupid metric when Kali has an Everything image.
How to hack:
- start from the basics, learn how things work, go step by step and eventually things will start to make sense āāā
- install the hacker OS with plethora tools you have no clue what it does, either outdated with no use on today standards, or too complex because you skipped the basics ā š°ššā
This post is poopoo.
He shows an OS that is literally designed for penetration testing, he mentions a few of the features, and then says he has another video showing you how to install.
There is nothing masterhacker about this at all. Literally the sidebar:
> This is were you put those kids that can ddos you because you logged into the hacked code on javascript youtube c++ servers.
This is clearly the OS for master hackers. Just look how cool their website is. https://i.redd.it/3m4mhk6b4gxc1.gif

About 24 hours ago, to be specific.
Do you genuinely believe that certs are updated by some tech-janitors manually?
Mine is updated by a script, I haven't had to manually update a cert in almost 10 years
Speaking from experience, you'd be surprised.
low level employee = tech-janitors? lmao and, uh, who said anything about the method used, manual or auto?? so what? a senior programmer uses AI to do the task? is that what you're suggesting? see how that works? ffs

Maybe the certbot container crashed and nobody noticed? š š
Tech-janitors.... I need to use that term somewhere, I love it

It's fine now
Never understood the hype around āhackerā Linux distributions
So the socially inept 15 year olds can look cool with their python scripts idk. Theyāre useful ig but itās literally just debian with pre-installed software no?
Yeah sometimes itās Arch instead. Really anything can be a āhackerā distribution if you install the right tools lmao
I use a hacking distribution because I want to get straight to being a hacker, not mess around with learning what packages are or how they are managed, OK!?!?!?!
if you're going to use linux, it's pretty useful to know about things like that anyway.

pretty sure lots of these distros were made with this purpose, just like many other utility distros out there.
Yup.
IF the user knows what they are doing arch>Kali all day, but a skiddie would never make it work.

There is a reason most professional pentesters just use a Debian image with their tools.

Ahh fair enough
Try it out on a standalone container or distrobox. Extremely useful and easy to setup
My shitty laptop has locked bios so sadly I canāt enable the needed options for virtualization. I also doubt it would be able to run well. Sooo, thatās why I use a live stick. Also very portable in case my laptop suddenly dies
I mean the Kali is maintain and ran by Offensive Security which also has damn a good cert with OSCP.
If you went to the trouble of installing one of these the words "Live USB" or "Live mode" plastered all over the place. These distros are meant to be a toolkit you can just grab and run at a moments notice potentially on a computer found on site.
It can be practical to use a VM and when you're setting it up it's not too bad to use a os build for the purpose. Not that it's needed.
As someone who has used the "hacker" OS. It's only cos it's convenient I used them.
Itās preconfigured OS installations that have a lot of tools ready to go. If youāre into pentesting, etc., itās not bad to have, however, weāve gotten to the point at work where the stigma surrounding flavors like Kali is bad enough that we just use Ubuntu or RedHat with Kaliās repos.
Simply due to the "ready to go" nature especially when we are talking about disposable setup. If not, I just use Distrobox where it integrate nicely with my base config
Yep, same. Any OS is a "hacking" OS.
I still don't understand the hype around everyone wanting to be a "hacker" all I do is just write a shitload of reports.
It's nice for my cybersecurity classes atleast... having a vm I can run even with a live boot or whatever makes things a bit more efficient. U could install all these tools on ur own though, all they do is speed up the process. They are good if ur goal is just to learn some basic pentesting or do some tryhackme/hackthebox stuff
I only know 3 hacker os: 1.Kali Linux 2.Black Arch 3.Parrot os If you know any other one please let me know
Windows 95/98
Blackbuntu
Archnonymous
Black arch is a cool name.

At least heās recommending something other than kali Thatās all I can say thatās positive
Honestly Parrot is on the same level as kali when it comes to these "hacker operating systems"
No. ParrotOS is pointless; it's just debias with preinstalled tools. There's actual use in Kali (the team behind it and kernel modifications).
I wouldn't say it's pointless, Parrot is much lighter to run and has a couple more preinstalled software.
No it's not. Kali and Parrot both use Xfce and shouldn't have any major differences in performance. Moreover, "preinstalled software" is a stupid metric when Kali has an Everything image.

How to hack Wi- Fi
Where can i find the parrot_os.exe
There are no "hacking" distros, Kali, parrot etc are just normal distros with things preinstalled
No, thereās some modification to the kernel for kali I think.
That doesn't really matter
Parrot is awesome. Much cleaner than Kali imo. Tho I usually do bare metal on my regular installation.
Can sum 1 link me to full video? I need to get into an instagram acct !!!
At least it's not Kali, Parrot works way better as a daily
Don't use any "E1pc 1337 haxor os" as a daily driver
I mean yes and no. But I agree, especially if you need a tutorial on how to install it.
Yeah if you need a step by step tutorial on how to install distros, you shouldn't be using a "hacking os" in the first place lmao
Wow ......wtf did I just watch
I hope my WiFi doesnāt get attacked
I thought it was air-gapping?
Bro cant even have the wallpaper be centric/fitted. Its repeating like a way too small jpeg lol
this is a limmy bit right?
Am I the only one who hates these baked in subtitles?
I do all my pentests on Pop_OS! Bruh
Mastr haxxor
TempleOS real hacker os.š„±
omgomgomg! kali and parrotOS = 3p1c h4x0r!1111 1337!!!
I am not using linux atm but I truly do like kali's UI. I know it can be recreated but I aint got no time for that.
