Hello! I'm a Parrot dev and I really love your video :D In latest release, we improved the firefox's bookmark: added more OSINT services, researches and learning resources. We are also working on a special network installer with Calamares installer so user-end can do fully customized Parrot. I hope you can do a review about newer edition in the future :D
Hey Dm Knight! Thanks for letting me know the latest version is out. I think it is about time for me to review Parrot's latest release and maybe even do head-2-head video against Kali.
@@daniellowrie It'd be awesome. We would like to know what do we need to improve our distro quality so a comparison with latest Kali linux is gonna be legendary!
@@Mysticer thank you for your kind words. I feel Parrot was too unstable last year and we have to improve our work quality to improve our distro. We are having some big projects in the future. The first one might be released officially next month (or in early 2023)
Every newbie is "stuck" in which os to use? Just use both and decide what you like. Both are eligible from job perspective and both are cool enough that can separate into communities, kali vs parrot. 😆 At the end of the day you'll need Windows/OSX for making reports, presentation, client briefings etc..
Thanks for the compliment and encouragement, Laurens! I've been in the middle of a move right now, but I will be back to making content within the next week or 2 👍
Well i'm the core dev of Parrot and I have to admit that Kali increased their performance in term of boot time and runtime. The decision that switched from Gnome3 to XFCE was a good call.
i agree, kali is great but Parrot OS feels better to me and more user friendly. Super easy to find anything you need on both the home edition and security edition. I have a headless version on my pen pie, and security edition on my pen laptop. I have a home vm on my main machine that i like when i want to use non windows for some time. Windows is my daily simply because of common use. for me its as easy as downloading the OS and its good to go and start pentesting.
I have searched for books that work as a guide, and education tool for working with Parrot OS, and haven’t found any as of yet that are comparable to ones published for Kali Linux, I mean there are so many titled like “ The Kali Linux Penetration testing Bible “, “ Kali Linux Hacking “, “ The Ultimate Kali Linux book: Perform advanced penetration “ etc, etc, . . . . Parrot OS = 0, I believe I found one in Japanese, and one due to come out in December of 2024. 🤷🏻 I mean maybe it doesn’t have to say something like “ Become a Pro with Parrot Security Linux “, but kinda of ? Why hardly anything seems to exist.
I'm actually getting Parrot up and running right now, so after I've worked with it for a little while, I think a usability comparison video is a great idea! Thanks, Chuck!
@@daniellowrie You're quite welcome! While the Debian-base is stable (in terms of the code base), I am often concerned about the remnants of deprecated packages being present that could impact more up-to-date tooling. Another thing, any thoughts on Kaboxer? How does is perform versus the snap packaging Parrot uses?
@@C6TTiX I really haven't had the chance to see how well they perform yet, but I'm sure that I will have a chance to pass that experience along in future videos👍
I may be new to pentesting, but I'm not new to music. Good to know you have some love for the tunes! I think Parrot is fine. I've always used Kali but my son uses Parrot as his daily driver. I think it's one of those things where some personalities like what they are used to and others like change. Whatever floats the boat.
I like the look of parrot especially how the menu's layout. Its easy explore new tools. In Kali most of the time we willbe engaged with same tools over and over again.
I think you have a valid point there, Ajith 👍 It does make me think though, and this was pointed out to me by one of my LinkedIn connections; Kali and Parrot are both pentesting distros, with different 'philosophies' of use. I'm wondering if it would be best to run both? Like, Parrot on the metal and Kali in a VM, or vice versa? It could be a good way to go.
@@daniellowrie yeah, that’s a good way to go. I am mainly a Kali user. I used it as my daily driver for more than year till I got very comfortable with it. Then i switched to windows and kali(wsl). I think its very easy to use both on WSL and explore both. Just my opinion☺️
WSL is a must have on any of my Windows boxes and like you say, it's pretty easy to use both that way. My problem is that I don't use Hyper-V, so I'm stuck with WSL v1, which was fine, but I don't get ALL the bells and whistles that comes in a WSL v2 build.
Always preferred Parrot OS over Kali (and BlackArch over Parrot), but what I am more concerned about is that guitar in the background. Is that a floyd rose tremolo on it? What make and model is it? I'm guessing Ibanez? Thanks a ton for all of your work on this channel and with ITProTV, I've learned so much from you!
Hey Dane! Thanks for the kind words and you nailed it, that is a Japanese-made Ibanez RG 470 that I got many moons ago. I think it's a mid to late 90s model. It has the LO-TRS licensed Floyd on it and a Seymour Duncan SH-8 Invader in the bridge. That guitar and I have played many a gig together 😎
05:50 Daniel don’t undersell yourself lol your opinion is appreciated more than you know. A lot of us folks learning cybersecurity are here because of you and your work with ITProTV.
I just downloaded Kali to my 2nd laptop for a little comparison since I’ve got parrot on my primary laptop. So far I’m leaning toward kali, it’s pretty slick and user friendly for a Linux noob like me
friend how install software , package tools on parrot sec method 1 sudo apt install ---- or sudo apt-get instal ----- and install from git clone how sudo apt install git or sudo apt- get install git and git clone repo tools on parrot sec? Thank's friend
Parrot uses the Aptitude package manager for installing software through packages. apt is just an updated, more "user-friendly" version of apt, so either `apt install` or `apt-get install` should work for you if you're installing a software package. git is a tool for working doing version control and working with software repos like Github and Gitab, or for your own local repos. `git clone` will create a copy of a repo. I hope that helps. Cheers!
Mind is blown right now. Kali linux is not user friendly on appearance but its not too bad to learn. But this, if I would have seen this OS first who knows if id ever use Kali linux.
I have used both and they do the same things for the most part but Parrot OS is lighter and can have memory issues if you load too many tools especially Zap and or Burp Suite.
The parrot home is the best implementation of MATE I've ever run. Had they never begun the paranoia nonsense,,,,,,,,they'd be more popular than they could ever imagine.
I wouldn't call it paranoid nonse... Did you hear that? There it is again. The line is bugged! Prank call! PRANK CALL!!! I DO NOT CONSENT TO ANY SEARCHES!!! POLICE ENTRAPMENT! 🤣😂

I think this video is not for me Cause I use Debian. Installed all tools manually so my quality time was wasted in installing the tools but I got the benefit that there is no tool that I don't use or don't know about it

At the end of the day, both Parrot and Black Arch are just Linux disros bundles with hacking/pentesting stuff, so as to which is better will be up to you for your use case(although they do have some tools for blue team as well).

Bummer! Do you have your heart set on using Parrot? If not, just try another distro. Do you have your heart set on using VMWare? If not, just switch to another hypervisor.
Sorry to hear that you're having trouble. I'd look to Google and VMWare forums as that will probably be the fastest path to a fix. Maybe somebody reading the comments here has had this issue and knows of a solution and can send it to you.

@@mahinuddinlord7320 sorry for the delay. I really don't know how to help you any more than I already have. Maybe try getting some advice in their forums would be faster. community.parrotsec.org
Well ever since i entered the hacking world (which was 12 years ago) i have been told to write my own tools.. so i guess i will pass if it's for the ui(cause am a vim user) and for the tools(since i write them myself usually).. so idk how to feel about parrotos tbh i don't think it's even good for beginners who wants to make it big in the industry because i think learning on hard environment with no tools makes you more experienced on how everything works together but hey who am i to judge i run arch for hacking 😂
Thanks for bringing your experience and insights to the conversation, Omar. I've really enjoyed seeing the different perspectives here. I think you make some valid points about working through difficult things and how that can make you better because it forces you to understand more and gives you a deeper experience. So maybe we shouldn't always be so quick to take the path of least resistance lest we miss out on a deeper learning experience. Interesting food for thought...even if it was from an Arch user 😆🤣 Thanks! 👍
for find a good answer ask someone have bad laptop like me 😸, i install first times kali and didn't work very well still glitch sometimes and work like 🐌🐌🐌and when i try to use parrot os i find it much better than kali so i dominate parrot os 😁
Ha my my security edition came with an air gapped root kit straight from the website my whole house is fucked now lol my iPhone vibrates for no reason when it’s locked after downloading that and the bios update to rewrite the master boot record isn’t available for my old pc anymore so I’m kinda fucked lol
I'm so sorry if I didn't make the intent of this video clear. This was one of my earlier videos, and I'm just a random dude on the internet, so maybe I could have titled the video a bit better, but I shot from the hip. The intent behind this video was to take a look at what Parrot had to offer at the time and ask myself if I thought it was better than Kali for me. I also was trying to ask the viewer what they thought about Parrot and Kali and which one they preferred and why, which I got a lot of insights to that end in the comments. I hope this helps clear things up and thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Hi Andrew! Thanks for watching. Earlier this year I did an overview video of Pentesting Distros, which Blackbuntu was one (you can watch here >>> th-cam.com/video/RsPBK69NqKU/w-d-xo.html), but would you be more interested in seeing a more focused video about Blackbuntu?
LoL Y did he do this video without experience. Its a one time video and it would be better if he used it for some time and then make it. Y did he make this video if he is unsure and dnt have experience. What to prove ?
I made this video to let others watch me learn about and get my first impressions about the current offering of Parrot. It wasn't meant to be a tutorial, opinion piece, or full review, but just more of a 'hey, what's this?" video. I hope that helps to clear thing up.
After spending a few months with Parrot as a daily driver, I have to agree with this. That said, that is just our opinion and I think Parrot has some good qualities, but for me Kali is just more comfortable and more 'my style'. Both distros are ever-evolving, so that may change in the future, but right now I'm rockin' Kali.
I've used both. Tbh if you want the look and feel Go with parrot, if you just want the work to be done go with Kali. But one advantage that parrot os have is that it is lighter and has more tools than kali.

Both OS are good. but i think, when it comes to low-end pc, parrot give a little bit better performance rather than kali.
Great advice, Udaya! Thanks 👍
Well i'm the core dev of Parrot and I have to admit that Kali increased their performance in term of boot time and runtime. The decision that switched from Gnome3 to XFCE was a good call.

for find a good answer ask someone have bad laptop like me 😸, i install first times kali and didn't work very well still glitch sometimes and work like 🐌🐌🐌and when i try to use parrot os i find it much better than kali so i dominate parrot os 😁
Thanks for sharing your experience, Ck!
Blackarch or archstrike. Not really a fan of Debian based distros.
Thanks for chiming in! What about Debian-based distros don't you like? I'm not defending them, just interested in your perspective/experience.
is it matey? or matt? i'm confused
Great question, Gon! I usually use MAH-TAY, mostly due to being influenced by the cinematic masterpiece that is the film 'Bloodsport'. 🤩
@@daniellowrie okay, i thought i've been pronouncing it incorrectly this whole time lol
Ha my my security edition came with an air gapped root kit straight from the website my whole house is fucked now lol my iPhone vibrates for no reason when it’s locked after downloading that and the bios update to rewrite the master boot record isn’t available for my old pc anymore so I’m kinda fucked lol
Well that straight-up sucks!
No answer for the question because he is not experienced enough in using Parrot
I use it every day on bare metal and it's better than Kali in every aspect
Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
Kali challenger?
After running both for the last 6 months or so, I've realized that they both have their uses.
How do you make a comparison video when it's your first time seeing the OS. wtf really
I'm so sorry if I didn't make the intent of this video clear. This was one of my earlier videos, and I'm just a random dude on the internet, so maybe I could have titled the video a bit better, but I shot from the hip. The intent behind this video was to take a look at what Parrot had to offer at the time and ask myself if I thought it was better than Kali for me. I also was trying to ask the viewer what they thought about Parrot and Kali and which one they preferred and why, which I got a lot of insights to that end in the comments. I hope this helps clear things up and thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Please review Blackbuntu 😎👍
Hi Andrew! Thanks for watching. Earlier this year I did an overview video of Pentesting Distros, which Blackbuntu was one (you can watch here >>> th-cam.com/video/RsPBK69NqKU/w-d-xo.html), but would you be more interested in seeing a more focused video about Blackbuntu?
@Daniel Lowrie thanks, would love to see an indepth review and assessment of Blackbuntu and the included pentest tools 😎👍
Parrot is better hands down
Kali Linux 2022 is not very stable
Good to know. Thanks, Titi! It's been a while since I filmed this, so maybe it's time for an update seeing as the next Kali just dropped.
@@daniellowrie when upgrading for first time you should use sudo apt -u dist-upgrade, if you want to install zenmap, use sudo apt install zenmap-kbx
LoL Y did he do this video without experience. Its a one time video and it would be better if he used it for some time and then make it. Y did he make this video if he is unsure and dnt have experience. What to prove ?
I made this video to let others watch me learn about and get my first impressions about the current offering of Parrot. It wasn't meant to be a tutorial, opinion piece, or full review, but just more of a 'hey, what's this?" video. I hope that helps to clear thing up.
Parrot is better than kali linux. Period.
I like that I can FEEL the conviction in your statement 😎👍
I took you were more of a bass player.You just lose coolness... not much....but some
I've only played bass from time to time. I'm no davie504 that's for sure 😅
No, it is not, moving on.
After spending a few months with Parrot as a daily driver, I have to agree with this. That said, that is just our opinion and I think Parrot has some good qualities, but for me Kali is just more comfortable and more 'my style'. Both distros are ever-evolving, so that may change in the future, but right now I'm rockin' Kali.
@@daniellowrie well said
I've used both. Tbh if you want the look and feel Go with parrot, if you just want the work to be done go with Kali.
But one advantage that parrot os have is that it is lighter and has more tools than kali.
I use Parrot🦜 and BlackArch🖇🗡. Love these 2 distros.
