Parrot OS is a GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian and designed with Security and Privacy in mind while still being approachable to new Linux users.

Parrot OS includes a full portable laboratory for all kinds of cybersecurity operations, from pentesting to digital forensics and reverse engineering. Still, it also includes everything needed to develop your own software or keep your data secure.

Secure
Always updated, frequently released with many hardening and sandboxing options available. Everything is under your complete control.

Free
Feel free to get the system, share with anyone, read the source code, and change it as you want. This system is made to respect your freedom, and it ever will be.

Lightweight
We care about resource consumption, and the system has proven to be extremely lightweight and runs surprisingly fast, even on very old hardware or with minimal resources.

Portable and universal
Our tools are designed to be compatible with as many devices as possible via containerization technologies like Docker or Podman. Feel free to use the Parrot tools on Windows, Mac OS, or any other Linux distribution without changing your habits.
