Hi, i'm trying to get into cybersecurity by doing some experiments on my own.

I wanted to try to "discover" my router password, to do so, i followed this tutorial. The problem is that only 1 host is shown when I scan only for my network and when I try to deauthenticate, nothing happens. I also tried to use wifite but again nothing happened.

I've quickly looked at the comments but no one seemed to have my problem. So at this point i'm wondering if the fact that i'm using my normal wireless card (it CAN go in monitor mode btw) might be the source of the problem for some reason and if I should buy a different card as the one in the video I've linked.

Thanks in advance.

​

P.S. sorry for any grammatical error, english is not my first language.

Getting this error after installing 5.3 on a partition on my Dell XPS, and running updates. Thoughts? OS will work until I find something that needs to be updated and everything follows…

My working theory is that the network driver has not been installed (iwlwifi) but is there another possibility?

​

I have just installed Parrot OS 5.3 and it won't pair to my K380. It finds the keyboard say "pairing in progress" and then"Failed to add device"

Keyboard and usb bluetooth adapter work fine with Manjaro.

Any ideas please?

Hello,

I actually do use HackTheBox a lot so the pwnbox install catches my eye a lot, but which would be better for a cyber student Pwnbox or Sec edition? Right-now I am running kali but I am having a lot of weird issues which is to be expected with Kali, so I want to change to an OS that is a little more daily friendly while I pwn some boxes.

The PC is an ASUS ROG FA507R

Hello everyone! This is ParrotOS Community Manager here.

We are aware of broken upgrade to Parrot 6, this is due to a broken driver which fails to compile during the upgrade, this breaks the kernel and consequently causes the Kernel Panic you have.

To fix this, DO NOT REINSTALL PARROT FROM SCRATCH but follow the steps below to restore your ParrotOS installation (thanks to Louis Master and Kent - from our Telegram community - who gave their contribution by providing these instructions) :

1. From the GRUB menu select "Advanced Mode" and start Parrot OS 6.1 kernel;

2. Purge the following packages (which are the causing problem) with this command:

sudo apt purge xtrx-dkms r8168-dkms realtek-rtl8188eus-dkms nvidia-kernel-dkms nvidia-driver

3. Launch these commands then reboot

sudo apt update && sudo parrot-upgrade

IMPORTANT!

If you have issues with grub and/or dualboot after rebooting, you must follow these steps:

4. Locate ParrotOS partition by launching

sudo fdisk -l

5. To mount the partition:

sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt

(where "X" replaces the number of the partition where Parrot OS is. NOTE: This has nothing to do with FAT32 EFI or SWAP partition.)

6. Update the initramfs with

update-initramfs -u -k 6.5.0-3parrot1-amd64

7. Update the GRUB with

sudo update-grub

8. Reboot and enjoy Parrot OS with 6.5.0-3 kernel!

After the reboot, If you encounter issues with grub identifying other operating systems:

9. Open the terminal and launch

sudo pluma /etc/default/grub

then add the line GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false then save the file.

10. Launch again this command, then reboot.

sudo update-grub

can somebody point me to what went wrong here during upgrade to ParrotOS 6 and how to fix it please

Every time i try to install parrot os on my laptop (acer aspire es 17) i get the same error is there any way to fix this

I recently installed parrot os inside virtualbox. But after installation finished, it didn't show me the log in page, although i input username and password during installation. It just like pre-installed. Does my installation fail? or?

I have 2 ssd cards on my xps 17 laptop. One running windows ofc and the other just for storage. Is there a way I can make the second ssd boot to parrot os ?

I'm approaching the world of cyber security and they recommended me to use parrot os cybersecurity. I used the sudo apt upgrade command and it's taking forever, is this normal?

Since I recently updated my system, I used the commands to enable me to reboot into kernel 6.1without trouble but my instance of virtualbox disappeared and I cannot reinstall it. When I attemp on a terminal I get an error message about missing dependencies(which I can't install). When I tried using synaptic I was told I was holding broken packages which prevents the installation. All my attempts to fix broken packages through synaptic and the terminal have failed. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I am able to log into my Netflix but I can't watch anything on Parrot OS. I keep getting the message below. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Hey I'm using Asus vivobook and after installing parrot os wifi in not showing and I have MEDIATEK wifi card. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have recently found when I tried to update parrot I was asked if I wanted to install new repositories. The 1st time I said yes as usual and then had over 2000 updates. Once applied the system would not restart. I reinstalled my system and tried with dist-upgrade (even though no new update was shown on the parrot download page) and had the same result. Then I chose not to have the new repositories enabled and all was well for several weeks until after a routine update of 3 programs once again installed the repositories and left me with over 2000 updates once again. This time I redownloaded the iso, installed it on a different computer and refused the repo update again. Same thing happened, I ran a regular apt update and the repos were installed. When I insstalled the 2000 + updates , again the system was left unable to boot. Any idea what is going on? As of now I have disabled the 3 new repos on my main system and am working without them but it's now been months. What is going on with parrot? Any insights would be appreciated, thanks.

Can everything that can be installed on kali also be installed on parrot? Essentially it’s the same base OS right so assume commands and software compatibility is the same ?

I just updated my system 2.06 and now it doesnt seem to get a internet connection. Any ideas on how I could fix this? It worked just before the update

I was trying to create a new VM and after first update && upgrade, I execute again sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade and it shows more tan 2000 apps to update. After this I got an error in linux headers and after a reboot I got a kernel error.

​

I tried this in 3 different PCs severaltimes in VMWare

​

This is what I got:

​

The second update message showing more than 2000 packages

The errors that shows in the end of the upgrade

After reboot this is what i get

Hey i just installed the parrot security OS, but im noticing some things😅, some security repos aren’t there like seclists how to get it?😅 is there a way i can add all kali repos to parrot security?

I'm trying to install parrot OS on a usb but every time I try to go to "Try/Install", it'll give me an error saying "no irq handler on boot" then just black screen. I've disabled secure boot on my bios and still nothing. I've tried both security and home. Also tried version 5.0 and still the same thing

I'm trying to install Parrot OS on a flash drive it's a 128gb (probably overkill but it was an extra I had) but everytime I start it it's black screen. anyone know what I can do?
