   Parrot is the best Linux distro

   I have been using parrot sec for over three months now as my daily driver . It's stable and has all necessary tools for programming and security also has media files that support multimedia activity . For a security distro it's quite stable and it brings out both of the stable day to day driver and security pentesting quite well it's the best of both worlds though it can require some modifications in terms of anonsurf and repository updates but generally it's great and it's easy to use for beginners and those whore beginners in pentesting and programming .. but in gaming it's whack since it's made for use in specific mannner not gaming For more info If @m.i.t.h.a.m.o

   🏁 Competitors: Kali Linux

Rufus Reviews

Parrot OS mentions (5)

• Best Portable OS?

  Parrot Security OS is an option, it contains vs codium(the OSS version without any binary blobs or telemetry) for coding as well as many, many pen testing tools which may or may not be useful to you. You meant Computer Science right? Not Cyber Security? If you have any Cyber Sec classes I think Parrot would be more useful to you. It is a Debian distro and I think it uses kernel 5.18 right now, so how new your... Source: over 1 year ago

• Help me with my system please....can anyone help me with this my kali virtual os was lagging on recon phase with slow fuzzing...what should i do to make it fast

  Checkout https://parrotsec.org In my opinion ParrotSec is much better than Kali but every pentester has there own specific distro they enjoy. Source: over 2 years ago

• Assist a newbie

  If you want a kind-of-temp system which resets itself after every reboot, then I recommend tails(although it does have an option to store files but you would have to set that up for it to work and since you're a linux beginner it might be hard, especially the installation part) and if you want the type of security where the applications are isolated from the system, then I would recommend cubes os. But if you want... Source: over 2 years ago

  For Linux, I generally don't use AV. Also recently I've been using Parrot Sec, Ubuntu, and Qubes. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Kali vs ubuntu- which is more private

  If you ask me I can tell ParrotOS - HOME Editition they have a set of defaults already for you without having to install these pentesting distros like Kali or ParrotOS - Security, because their main goal is not YOUR security. Source: about 3 years ago

• Truly Wiping an HDD for resell?

  For HDDs, you'll want to use a program called DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) to wipe it. It's included in the Ultimate Boot CD, and you can make that a bootable USB instead by using Rufus. Source: over 1 year ago

• Both usb drives are not working even tho they're formatted in Fat32

  Someone below commented to use rufus. That tool is meant for flashing OS install images, but just using the format section should work fine. I use GParted's livecd, although that might be a bit overkill for a quick format. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Windows 11 Installation Assistant vs ISO file

  I would just download the ISO by itself. You don't really need the "assistant". Just mount the ISO with Rufus. Source: over 2 years ago

• Uninstalling Windows for Linux

  Maybe download the installers for Fedora & Tumbleweed and boot to the USB Drive you install the .iso file on to 'try' a distro first instead of destroying you current setup for the totally unknown world of linux. Use Rufus to create the bootable USB drive and HashTab to check the .iso files checksum. https://rufus.akeo.ie/. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Data sanitization - DBAN, Powershell or other?
