Distribution Release: Parrot Security OS 3.2
Lorenzo Faletra has announced the release ofParrot Security OS 3.2, the latest release of the project's specialist distribution, based on Debian's "Testing" branch, featuring tools for penetration testing, computer forensics, reverse engineering, hacking, privacy and cryptography: " We have finished all the work on Parrot 3.2 and we are now proud to announce its official release. This new version comes after a long while due to some buggy packages in the Debian 'Testing' repository that we were forced to fix on our own (it's about the latest GTK+ updates that broke the MATE interface). We wanted this release to be just an improved version of the past release, but we were able to introduce some new interesting features, a new linux 4.7 kernel, a more accurate set of pre-installed software and a more comfortable but familiar environment. We are also happy to welcome the University of Crete as a new mirror provider. " Here is the brief release announcement . Parrot Security OS 3.2 is available in several specialist editions; here is a link to the "Full" flavour: Parrot-full-3.2_amd64.iso (3,657MB, SHA512 , pkglist ).
