Parrot 4.0 Ethical Hacking Linux Distro Released

Popular hacking Linux distro Parrot Security has upgraded to version 4.0, and comes with all the fixes and updated packages along with many new changes. According to Parrot Security, the development process of this version required a lot of time, and many important updates to make this release an important milestone in the history of the project.
As you probably know, Parrot Security is perhaps the most popular Linux distro after Kali Linux among hackers, pentesters and security researchers. The new update will ship with netinstall images to enable those interested to create their own system with only the bare core and software components they need.

Besides this, the company has also released Parrot on Docker templates that allows users to quickly download a Parrot template and instantly spawn unlimited and completely isolated parrot instances on top of any host OS that supports Docker. Also, different Docker images with only the bare system, a more comprehensive environment with several useful tools, and a dedicated Metasploit container environment has also been provided.

This version also ships with Linux kernel 4.16, which includes AMDGPU multi-display fixes, optimized in-kernel filesystem operations and other important updates.

Other changes also include stable and reliable sandbox applications for better security; MATE 1.20 has been added with many graphic bug fixes and new features; Nginx has been introduced as the new default web server daemon; LibreOffice 6 with better documents support, memory efficiency and stability, Firefox 60, and MD Raid support has been added by default.
