'''Parrot Linux''' is a [[Linux distribution]] based on [[Debian]] with a focus on [[computer security]].<ref name="Prabhu, Vijay">{{cite web | url=http://www.techworm.net/2016/10/parrot-security-3-2-cybersloop-ethical-hacking-os-linux-kernel-4-7-released.html | title=Parrot Security 3.2 "CyberSloop" Ethical Hacking OS With Linux Kernel 4.7 Released | publisher=Techworm.net | date=15 October 2016 | accessdate=21 October 2016 | author=Prabhu, Vijay}}</ref> It is designed for [[penetration testing]], [[vulnerability assessment]] and mitigation, [[computer forensics]] and [[anonymous web browsing]]. It is developed by elon#9116

== Target ==

ParrotSec is intended to provide a suite of penetration testing tools to be used for attack mitigation, security research, forensics, and vulnerability assessment.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.linux.com/learn/security/parrot-security-could-be-your-next-security-tool|title=Parrot Security Could Be Your Next Security Tool|website=Linux.com {{!}} The source for Linux information|language=en|access-date=2018-03-09}}</ref>

== Core ==

Parrot is based on [[Debian]]'s testing branch (Buster), with a custom Linux 4.19 kernel. It follows a [[rolling release]] development model.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=parrotsecurity|title=DistroWatch.com: Parrot Security OS|last=DistroWatch|website=distrowatch.com|access-date=2018-03-09}}</ref>

The desktop environment is [[MATE (software)|MATE]], and the default display manager is [[LightDM]].<ref name="Prabhu, Vijay"/>

The project is certified to run on devices which have a minimum of 256MB of [[RAM]], and it is suitable for both 32-bit ([[i386]]) and 64-bit ([[amd64]]) processor architectures.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fossbytes.com/parrot-security-os-3-0-lithium-kali-linux-alternative-features/|title=Parrot Security OS 3.0 "Lithium" — Best Kali line Alternative Coming With New Features
|author= Adarsh Verma |publisher=fossBytes|date=30 May 2016|accessdate=21 October 2016}}</ref> Moreover, the project is available for ARMv7 ([[ARM architecture|armhf]]) architectures. It even offers an edition (both 32-bit and 64-bit)<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.parrotsec.org/download.fx|title=Downloads Page|publisher=Parrot Security|accessdate=21 October 2016}}</ref> developed specifically for servers to carry out cloud service penetration testing.

In June 2017, ParrotSec announced they were considering to change from Debian to [[Devuan]], mainly because of problems with the highly controversial [[systemd]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.softpedia.com/news/parrot-security-os-ethical-hacking-distro-considers-dropping-debian-for-devuan-516384.shtml|title=Parrot Security OS Ethical Hacking Distro Considers Ditching Debian for Devuan; systemd could be the main reason for this decision|author=Marius Nestor|publisher=Softpedia|date=11 June 2017|accessdate=21 June 2017}}</ref>

As of January 21st, 2019, the Parrot Linux team will be phasing out the development of 32-bit ([[i386]]) versions of all future operating systems.

==Other Editions==
Parrot has multiple editions that are based upon [[Debian (operating system)|Debian]], with various [[desktop environment]]s available.

===Parrot Home===

Parrot Home is a special edition of Parrot designed for daily use, and it targets regular users who need a lightweight, always updated and beautiful system on their laptops or workstations.

The distribution has the same look and feel of a regular Parrot environment and includes all the basic programs for daily work. Parrot Home also includes programs to chat privately with people, encrypt documents with the highest cryptographic standards or surf the net in a completely anonymous and secure way.

The system can also be used as a starting point to build a very customized pentesting platform with only the tools you need, or you can use it to build your professional workstation by taking advantage of all the latest and most powerful technologies of Debian without hassle.

===Parrot Studio===

Designed for students, producers, video editing and all related professional multi-media creation. This edition's goals are to provide a reliable workstation for a multi-purpose computing.

===Parrot ARM===

A lightweight Parrot release for embedded systems, aimed for simplicity and portability. Supported hardware brands are Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, Pine64, and Cubieboard.

== Release frequency ==

The development team has not specified any official release timeline, but based on release changelogs and the notes included in the official review of the distribution, the project will be released on a monthly basis.
