Linux Disto - Part 3
Top 5 Linux
for Networking & Security
———
You may heard of Mr. Robot a series show on American network cable TV, the best hacking show yet, otherwise you’re not geek at all and you’re on the wrong channel ! We’re kidding maybe you didn’t pay attention as we did. Let’s pitch you a little and get back to our main topic.

“We’re in a culture where you have access to everybody. You can text your grandmother. You can look up your high school friends on Facebook. You literally have no excuse to not be able to connect to people but yes, you can still feel loneliness.” In fact, our all-pervasive access to social media and mobile communication can actually exacerbate that loneliness, making people feel more isolated despite being more connected than ever. Well Mr. Robot is about that, what makes the show work is how true it is to its subject matter, from the alienation at the heart of an always-connected life to the technologies the characters use to pull off the story lines. In did you will witness much hacking and cracking in the way, it’s cool to add to the watchlist tho.

1. Kali
Its created by Offensive Security, is primarily preferred by ethical hackers to perform penetration tests on vulnerable networks and computers. It comes loaded with tons of pre-installed tools. However, let us make it clear that it’s not designed for a beginner who doesn’t know his/her way around in the world of Linux.

2. BackBox
BackBox has its own software repository providing latest stable versions of various system & network analysis toolkits and the best known ethical hacking tools. It is designed with minimalism in mind and uses XFCE desktop environment. It delivers a fast, effective, customizable and complete experience.

3. Parrot
Parrot Security OS is based on Debian and uses MATE as its desktop environment. Almost every recognized tool for penetration testing is available here, along with some exclusive custom tools from Frozenbox Network. The target users are the ones who needs cloud friendly environment with online anonymity and encrypted system.

4. BlackArch
It has its own repository containing thousands of tools organized in various groups. And the list is growing over time.

5. Bugtraq
Bugtraq is an Ubuntu based OS and it packs a huge arsenal of penetration testing tools-mobile forensics, malware testing laboratories along with tools specifically designed by the Bugtraq-Community.

What we Recommend:
If your workstation or server hardware specification is less, then Parrot Security OS is best for you because it’s lightweight and requires very minimum specification otherwise Kali is best handpicked by us . . .

Kali Linux is used in multiple episodes of Mr. Robot. It’s free, open source, and pre-installed with hundreds of pen testing programs, so it’s perfect for cracking Wi-Fi passwords, bypassing anti-virus software, and testing security vulnerabilities on your network. It has got a distribution system with everything you need.
