Description: What is it? Parrot is different from other distributions because it does not try in any way to hide its internals. Meaning that many automation tools are included in the system to make it easier to use, yet expose quite well what the system has under the hood. A good example is the parrot update reminder: it is a simple yet powerful program that prompts the user to check for system upgrades once a week. but instead of hiding the upgrade process behind a progress bar, it shows the user the full upgrade process from the apt output. Another important difference is that Parrot disables by default all the network services pre-installed in the system, not only to maintain a very low RAM footprint and offer better performance, but also to avoid services exposure in a target network. Every network service needs to be manually started when the user needs it. Pentesting Pentest distributions are famous for integrating only security tools, allowing easy root access and taking down all the security system barriers that may influence the workflow of a pentester. Parrot was designed to be a very comfortable environment for security experts and researchers. It includes many basic programs for daily use which pentesting distributions usually exclude (at the cost of less than an additional gigabyte of storage). This choice was taken to make Parrot not only a good system to perform security tests, but also a good environment where you can write reports, build your own tools, and communicate seamlessly with teammates, without the need for additional computers, operating systems or configuration. Our goal is to allow any professional pentester to make a whole security test from the beginning, to the report with just a Parrot ISO and an average laptop. Security and Privacy Parrot Security ships with custom hardening profiles and configurations for AppArmor and other linux hardening technologies, and takes inspiration from the success of other projects that deliver the highest level of security in the GNU/Linux scenario, like Tails and Whonix to sandbox the system and deliver a layer of security above the average. All this additional security comes with a cost: it is harder to adopt bad behaviors on Parrot. For instance it is not possible to log in as root with the whole desktop environment, or to start critical applications like browsers, media players or advanced document readers with unnecessary privileged permissions. The user can still open root consoles, launch security tools with privileged permissions and use the system without limits. The only thing that changes is that all the critical user applications are now protected from very bad behaviors and common exploit techniques, or even zero-days, and the damages caused by advanced exploits are very limited. Forensics Digital forensics experts need an environment that does not compromise their evidence. Parrot comes with automount functions disabled by default, to allow forensics acquisitions to be performed in a safe way. The global automount policy is configured in a redundant way in all the layers of the system stack, from the noautomount kernel option passed by default at boot, to the specific file manager settings to disable auto mount and plug & play features. Don't forget that the disks are still recognized by the system, and the system will mount them without protections if the user accidentally open them. The no-automount behavior is consistent and stable, but no protection is provided in case of accidental mounts. A write blocker is always recommended in any digital forensics scenario. This Package is Intended for: Security Experts Digital forensics experts Computer Science/Engineering Students Researchers Would-be Hackers Software developers ***This is a 32GB bootable USB*** ***DUE TO ADVANCED SECURITY PROFILES, THIS OPERATING SYSTEM COMES WITH A STEEP LEARNING CURVE (Hopefully LEARNING is your INTENT)*** UEFI. Requires secure boot off. Plug and play, boots outside of your primary OS, does not interact with your existing files (unless you want to). If youre running windows primary OSbefore you turn off safe boot, double and triple check that youre not running bitlocker on your mainor at least have access to your key off drive, else its not going to be a happy time. Check your pc manufacturer instructions on how to enter setup or your boot menu for your specific device. This usb must be loaded prior to your primary os, often you will see F2 for setup or F12 for Boot or any number of phrases at your initial power on screen. This is the way. This auction is for legitimate software. Legitimate tools. Real world tools. Open source, no bootlegs, no cracked software. What weve done is combined it to a handy, powerful multi boot device. ****Note: hacking or attempting to hack a target without consent from the owner is illegal and can result in serious legal consequences. Use these tools in whatever way you see fit, but we do not condone nor insinuate that you perform any illegal activities with this software.**** Listing pricing is to cover the cost of the materials, plus the labor costs involved in sourcing it.
