Security Oriented GNU/Linux Distribution - Parrot Security 3.10

Security GNU/Linux distribution designed with cloud pentesting and IoT security in mind.

It includes a full portable laboratory for security and digital forensics experts, but it also includes all you need to develop your own softwares or protect your privacy with anonymity and crypto tools.

Details

Security

Parrot Security includes a full arsenal of security oriented tools to perform penetration tests, security audits and more. With a Parrot usb drive in your pocket you will always be sure to have all you need with you.

Privacy

Parrot includes by default TOR, I2P, anonsurf, gpg, tccf, zulucrypt, veracrypt, truecrypt, luks and many other tecnologies designed to defend your privacy and your identity.

Development

If you need a comfortable environment with updated frameworks and useful libraries already installed, Parrot will amaze you as it includes a full development-oriented environment with some powerful editors and IDEs pre-installed and many other tools installable from our repository.

Features

System Specs

• Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)
• Custom hardened Linux 4.8 kernel
• Rolling release updates
• Powerful worldwide mirror servers
• High hardware compatibility
• Community-driven development
• free(libre) and open source project

Cryptography

Parrot includes many cryptographic softwares which are extremely useful when it comes to protect your confidential data and defend your privacy.

Parrot includes several cryptographic front-ends to work both with symmetric and asymmetric encryption, infact it natively supports volumes encryption with LUKS, TrueCrypt, VeraCrypt and the hidden TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt volumes with nested algorythms support.

The whole system can be installed inside an encrypted partition to protect your computer in case of theft.

Another swiss army knife of your privacy is GPG, the GNU Privacy Guard, an extremely powerful PGP software that lets you create a private/public pair of keys to apply digital signatures to your messages and to allow other people to send you encrypted messages that only your private key can decrypt, in can also handle multiple identities and subkeys, and its power resides in its ring of trust as PGP users can sign each other's keys to make other people know if a digital identity is valid or not.

Even our software repository is digitally signed by GPG, and the system automatically verifies if an update was altered or compromised and it refuses to upgrade or to install new software if our digital signature is not found or not valid.

Privacy

Your privacy is the most valuable thing you have in your digital life and the whole Parrot Team is exaggeratedly paranoid when it comes to users privacy, infact our system doesn't contain tracking systems, and it is hardened in deep to protect users from prying eyes.

Parrot has developed and implemented several tricks and softwares to achieve this goal, and AnonSurf is one of the most important examples, it is a software designed to start TOR and hijack all the internet traffic made by the system through the TOR network, we have also modified the system to make it use DNS servers different from those offered by your internet provider.

Parrot also includes torbrowser, torchat and other anonymous services, like I2P, a powerful alternative to TOR.

Programming

The main goal of an environment designed by hackers for hackers is the possibility to change it, adapt it, transform it and use it as a development platform to create new things, this is why Parrot comes out of the box with several tools for developers such as compilers, disassemblers, IDEs, comfortable editors and powerful frameworks.

Parrot includes QTCreator as its main C, C++ and Qt framework. Another very useful tool is Geany, a lightweight and simple IDE which supports a huge amount of programming languages, while we also include Atom, the opensource editor of the future developed by GitHub, and many compilers and interpreters with their most important libraries are pre-installed and ready to use.

And of course many other editors, development softwares and libraries are available through our software repository where we keep all the development tools always updated to their most cutting edge but reliable version.

Changelog

The first big news is the introduction of a full firejail+apparmor sandboxing system to proactively protect the OS by isolating its components with the combination of different tecniques. The first experiments were already introduced in Parrot 3.9 with the inclusion of firejail.

In Parrot 3.10 also introduced the new Firefox 57 (Quantum) that landed on Parrot very naturally with a complete browser restyle.


The other big news is the introduction of the latest Linux 4.14 kernel, and it is a very important improvement for us because of the awesome features of this new kernel release and its improved hardware support.

Some pentest tools received some important upstream updates, like metasploit-framework, that reached its 4.21 version, or maltegoce and casefile that were merged into a unique launcher provided by the new maltego 4.1.

To upgrade the system, open a terminal window and type the following command

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Teaser

As the target of development

Education
Dracos Linux is purposed as an educational,especially to recognize the operation system of linux and we respect ethical hacking.

Build from source
had always been built from codes instead of installer,this will stimulate users in indonesia to stay creative and to build the spirit of opensource.

Repository
even though proportionally based on codes,Dracos Linux still intends to construct the repository to build up the processes Like Venomizer

Heavy Control
We need to recognize this operating system Very Dificult Because Dracos in build from source code, thus forcing us to compile when installing a package or software, which of course will arise the possibility of system failure and other system vulnerabilities.

Always from terminal
None of every singel tool that was installed inside the OS uses GUI. CLI will always consider to particularly openbox to ease the users in need of multi terminal in applying Penetration Testing

The Best Penetration Testing Distribution - Kali Linux 2016.2

This release brings a whole bunch of interesting news and updates into the world of Kali.

New KDE, MATE, LXDE, e17, and Xfce Builds

Although users are able to build and customize their Kali Linux ISOs however they wish, we often hear people comment about how they would love to see Kali with $desktop_environment instead of GNOME. We then engage with those people passionately, about how they can use live-build to customize not only their desktop environment but pretty much every aspect of their ISO, together with the ability to run scripted hooks at every stage of the ISO creation process – but more often than not, our argument is quickly lost in random conversation. As such, we’ve decided to expand our “full” 64bit releases with additional Desktop Environment flavored ISOs, specifically KDE, Mate, LXDE and Enlightenment. These can now be downloaded via our Kali Download page. For those curious to see what the various Desktop Environments look like, we’ve taken some screenshots for you:

Gnome

E17

KDE

LXDE

Mate

Xfce

Kali Linux Weekly ISOs

Constantly keeping Kali on the bleeding edge means frequent updates to packages on an ongoing basis. Since our last release several months ago, there’s a few hundred new or updated packages which have been pushed to the Kali repos. This means that anyone downloading an ISO even 3 months old has somewhat of a long “apt-get dist-upgrade” ahead of them. To help avoid this situation, from this release onwards, we’ll be publishing updated weekly builds of Kali that will be available to download via our mirrors. Speaking of mirrors, we are always in need of support in this area – if you’re capable of running a high-bandwidth mirror and would like to support our project, please check out our Kali Mirrors page.

Bug Fixes and OS Improvements

During these past few months, we’ve been busy adding new relevant tools to Kali as well as fixing various bugs and implementing OS enhancements. For example, something as simple as adding HTTPS support in busybox now allows us to preseed Kali installations securely over SSL. This is a quick and cool feature to speed up your installations and make them (almost) unattended, even if you don’t have a custom built ISO.

To set a preseed file during an install process, choose the “install” option, then hit “tab” and enter the preseed directive, together with a URL pointing to your actual preseed file.

Anonymous Operating System - Whonix 13

Whonix is a desktop operating system designed for advanced security and privacy. It realistically addresses attacks while maintaining usability. It makes online anonymity possible via fail-safe, automatic, and desktop-wide use of the Tor network. A heavily reconfigured Debian base is run inside multiple virtual machines, providing a substantial layer of protection from malware and IP leaks. Pre-installed applications, pre-configured with safe defaults are ready for use. Additionally, installing custom applications or personalizing the desktop will in no way jeopardize the user. Whonix is the only actively developed OS designed to be run inside a VM and paired with Tor.

Whonix consists of two parts: One solely runs Tor and acts as a gateway, which we call Whonix-Gateway. The other, which we call Whonix-Workstation, is on a completely isolated network. Only connections through Tor are possible. With Whonix, you can use applications and run servers anonymously over the internet. DNS leaks are impossible, and not even malware with root privileges can find out the user's real IP.

 Whonix benefits anyone who does sensitive work on their desktop or online. This includes:

• Investigators and whistleblowers whose work threatens the powerful.
  • Within an isolated environment, research and evidence can be gathered without accidental exposure.

• Researchers, government officials, or businesspeople who may be targets of espionage.
  • Anti-malware and anti-exploit modifications lower the threat of trojans and backdoors.

• Journalists who endanger themselves and their families by reporting on organized crime.
  • Compartmentalized, anonymous internet use prevents identity correlation between social media (and other) logins.

• Political activists under targeted surveillance and attack.
  • The usefulness of threatening the ISP in order to analyze a target's internet use will be severely limited. The cost of targeting a Whonix user is greatly increased.

• Average computer users in a repressive or censored environment.
  • Easy Tor setup (and options for advanced setups) gives users in repressive countries full internet access desktop-wide, not just in their browser.

• Average computer users who simply don’t want all or some aspect of their private lives uploaded, saved, and analyzed.
  • Whonix does not silently upload identifying information in the background.

Qubes-Whonix:
Either start with fresh templates. I.e. uninstall qubes-template-whonix-gw and qubes-template-whonix-ws. Then, to install, run in dom0:

sudo qubes-dom0-update --enablerepo=qubes-tempates-community qubes-template-whonix-gw qubes-template-whonix-ws

Or you can also upgrade from Whonix’s repository. Please refer to the following instructions:

The Amnesic Incognito Live System - Tails 2.4

Tails is a live system that aims to preserve your privacy and anonymity. It helps you to use the Internet anonymously and circumvent censorship almost anywhere you go and on any computer but leaving no trace unless you ask it to explicitly.

It is a complete operating system designed to be used from a DVD, USB stick, or SD card independently of the computer's original operating system. It is Free Software and based on Debian GNU/Linux.

Tails comes with several built-in applications pre-configured with security in mind: web browser, instant messaging client, email client, office suite, image and sound editor, etc.

New features

• We enabled the automatic account configuration of Icedove which discovers the correct parameters to connect to your email provider based on your email address. We improved it to rely only on secure protocol and we are working on sharing these improvements with Mozilla so that users of Thunderbird outside Tails can benefit from them as well.

Upgrades and changes

• Update Tor Browser to 6.0.1, based on Firefox 45.
• Remove the preconfigured #tails IRC channel. Join us on XMPP instead!
• Always display minimize and maximize buttons in titlebars. (#11270)
• Remove GNOME Tweak Tool and hledger. You can add them back using the Additional software packages persistence feature.
• Use secure HKPS OpenPGP key server in Enigmail.
• Harden our firewall by rejecting RELATED packets and restricting Tor to only send NEW TCP syn packets. (#11391)
• Harden our kernel by:
  • Setting various security-related kernel options: slab_nomerge slub_debug=FZ mce=0 vsyscall=none. (#11143)
  • Removing the .map files of the kernel. (#10951)

Fixed problems

• Update the DRM and Mesa graphical libraries. This should fix recent problems with starting Tails on some hardware. (#11303)
• Some printers that stopped working in Tails 2.0 should work again. (#10965)
• Enable Packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery for IPv4. This should make the connections to obfs4 Tor bridges more reliable. (#9268)
• Fix the translations of Tails Upgrader. (#10221)
• Fix displaying the details of a circuit in Onion Circuits when using Tor bridges. (#11195)

For more details, read our changelog.

Known issues

• The automatic account configuration of Icedove freezes when connecting to some email providers. (#11486)
• In some cases sending an email with Icedove results in the error: "The message could not be sent using Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.riseup.net for an unknown reason." When this happens, simply click "Ok" and try again and it should work. (#10933)
• The update of the Mesa graphical library introduce new problems at least on AMD HD 7770 and nVidia GT 930M.

See the list of long-standing issues.
