Kde Plasma now works again as expected, and it was updated to provide a better look and feel. xspy is no longer an executable file in /usr/bin). We have enforced some systemd rules to prevent this happening.Ĭertain tools used for Linux local privilege escalation represented a security hazard for parrot, so we have disabled and unarmed them (i.e. Previous Parrot versions used to have un-needed services shut down by default, but such services happened to re-enable randomly after system updates. Parrot 4.11 provides cleaner metapackages, updated tools and a more consistent repository. Our tool metapackages were revisited as well to reflect this little revolution. We have finally purged many old, broken and unmaintained tools, and revisited many of the existing ones. We plan to release Linux 5.11 as soon as possible as a later update. Linux 5.10 is the default kernel of this new Parrot version, with better hardware support for very recent hardware. We are evaluating the idea of continuing to provide a Rolling Release branch along side the LTS one. The Long Term Support conversion plan will also re-introduce ARM support and init freedom. We will catch the opportunity of a new Debian release to convert the current branch into a Long Term Support branch with fewer updates for a very reliable user experience. Parrot 4.11 will benefit from this, and all the updates from now on will be subject to more tests.
Changelog Debian freezing and LTS plansĭebian is in “feature freeze” state to prepare for the new stable release. The distribution is based on Debian, which features the MATE desktop environment and was developed by the Frozen box network.
The developer teams announce the release of Parrot Security OS 4.11, a security-oriented operating system designed for penetration testing, computer forensics, reverse engineering, attacks, cloud penetration testing, privacy/anonymity, passwords and more. We care about resource consumption, and the system has proven to be extremely lightweight and run surprisingly fast even on very old hardware or with very limited resources. This system is made to respect your freedom, and it ever will be.
