DEF CON, here we go again 🏴‍☠️

After a massive first edition, we're back to host OS Community for the second time at DEF CON 34 🎰

If you're curious about how OS internals work or looking to optimize your own security stack, this is where you want to be 💻

mcpwn has a new home 🏠

We’ve officially launched mcpwn.parrotsec.ai as the central hub for everything related to the project.

mcpwn is built to give your LLM a fully functional security toolbox, and the new website contains all the resources to make that happen.

Stop leaving performance on the table 💻

Parrot Security now ships opt-in, hardware-optimized package builds (amd64v3 & arm64v8.2) designed to finally use your processor’s full potential.

Ready to take flight a little faster? 🦜

Cybersecurity demands transparency for both software and the silicon it runs on.

We recently brought Parrot to RISC V. Today, @palinuro explains why. Proprietary hardware acts as a black box. Pairing our open source framework with open silicon creates verifiable trust from the hardware up.

An open arsenal for an open chip.

Finally checking out ParrotOS. Not sure how much I like it compared to Kali.

side quest: if you want to find out who's posting this you should look for the easter egg on your Parrot 7.3

#ParrotSec #ParrotOS #linux #linuxdistro #empirestatebuilding

Parrot 7.3 is out 🚀

This release is about the system itself: opt-in packages recompiled for modern CPUs that run compute-heavy work 20% to 50% faster, a menu system rewritten in Go with one-click tool installation, official Vagrant boxes for Home and Security, and a new Firefox start page that collects no data.

Upgrade with: sudo parrot-upgrade

Is #kali still what the cool red-teamers are using? I know #parrotos became semi a thing for a while, and I never really knew anything about stuff like #blackarch . I was thinking about trying to go after some #HTB boxes again, even though I struggle with motivation without anyone else working alongside me.

LINUX NEWS

Vendefoul Wolf Linux (Devuan-based) rejects age verification:
https://xcancel.com/vendefoulwolf/status/2035441292520386852#m
(Never heard of this distro before, but it's always good to have some more options to go to, especially distros which reject most of the mainstream stuff which are more prone to age verification and other forms of corruption.)

Qubes will do whatever upstream Fedora does (so likely comply):
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/10744#issuecomment-3997244349

CachyOS also refuses compliance:
https://discuss.cachyos.org/t/age-verification-systemd/26316

Garuda Linux plans to "comply" in the least invasive way possible, only with some checkboxes:
https://forum.garudalinux.org/t/a-statement-on-age-verification-the-state-of-the-community-discourse/47652

Parrot will only comply if legally forced to, it's implementation will be easy to bypass:
https://parrotsec.org/blog/2026-04-02-our-statement-about-age-verification/
(I wonder what they mean under being forced. When they receive an email from the authorities, or what? 🤔)

OpenMandriva won't implement age verification, but won't remove it from Systemd, stating it can be useful for other things:
https://forum.openmandriva.org/t/systemd-adds-age-verification-are-you-serious/8793/75?u=xseagdc
(The comment right below describes pretty well, what the problem is with this...)

CuerdOS (Debian-based distro) rejects age verification:
https://skyview.social/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbsky.app%2Fprofile%2Fcuerdoslinux.bsky.social%2Fpost%2F3mikopwmbyk2r

HyraxOS (Linux Mint-based distro) also refuses age verification:
https://hyraxos.weebly.com/age.html

Fluff Linux (Arch-based) also says no:
https://xcancel.com/flufflinux/status/2033885428030575025#m

And Athena OS (Arch and NixOS-based ethical hacking distro) too:
https://github.com/BryanLunduke/DoesItAgeVerify/issues/42

Debian Is Figuring Out How Age Verification Laws Will Impact It:

Finally got around and continue the ActiveDirectory Track on HTB labs. And I also got around to use #ParrotOS and #Kali - both VMs share a file share holding writeups, tools and stuff.

I must say, Kali feels a bit more modern, up-to-date and it also feels like more tools are available directly from the repositories.
