So let’s dive right into it and look how to install parrot os on your PC.
By
the way, if you are a complete beginner and want to learn about hacking
from scratch then you must read this guide that I wrote for the
complete beginners:hacking for beginners.
But first of all, what is Parrot OS?
Parrot
Security OS is a Linux-based distribution that is specially designed
for penetration testing purpose. You can say, that it is an Operating
System having lots of Hacking tools.
Parrot Security OS comes
preinstalled with a large number of Hacking tools which makes it a great
platform to get a head start in Hacking world.
Also, there are
many other Linux distributions which are used for penetration testing.
The most commonly known of such distribution is the Kali Linux.
Now let me clear one thing, it doesn’t matter which distribution you choose because almost all of them are Linux-based.
That
means you can use any Linux distribution on your PC and use it for
penetration testing after installing the required tools (if the
distribution you choose don’t have them preinstalled).
For example, you can use the Ubuntu OS for penetration testing.
But
in this case, you first need to figure out which tool to use, from
where and how to download it and how to install and configure it.
That’s
why we use penetration testing distributions which comes with lots of
hacking tools preinstalled so that we don’t need to hassle about
installing tools and setting things up.
