Parrot Security has officially announced the launch of Parrot OS 6.2, marking the latest iteration of this Debian-based distribution aimed at ethical hacking and penetration testing.
This new version arrives over four and a half months after Parrot OS 6.1 and introduces a fresh tool named Rocket. This tool allows users to easily launch Docker containers, featuring various security utilities from the Parrot OS repository available on Docker Hub. Rocket is developed entirely in Python and utilizes PyQt6 for its graphical user interface.
“Instead of typing and downloading a specific tool, through Rocket you can select a tool from the list, and then downloading the Docker image and launching the container is taken care of by the application,” explain the developers. “This application runs on ParrotOS, but is also compatible with other distributions.”
In addition to the new tool, several existing hacking utilities have been refreshed in Parrot OS 6.2. The distribution now includes updated versions of Airgeddon 11.30, Anonsurf 5.0.0, and Maltego 4.7.0. It also comes with important upgrades to the parrot-tools metapackages, which cover a wide range of categories including cloud, crypto, forensics, infogathering, reversing, web, and wireless.
For additional information, check the release notes. You can now download Parrot OS 6.2 from the official website, which offers the Security Edition, Home Edition, and Hack The Box Edition options. The distribution runs on Linux kernel 6.10, which has recently reached its end of life, while the Raspberry Pi images utilize Linux 6.6 LTS.
This release is intended for new installations only, as current Parrot OS users can upgrade their systems by executing the sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade commands in a terminal emulator.
