Hi, it’s me Hacktube. Today in this blog, we will learn about the best operating system for hacking and why it is best. According to my personal opinion, the os which you are comfortable with is the best os for you, but there are some limitations in many operating systems so to help you with that I will show you some of the operating systems which can help you more with your hacking.
So, here are the top 4 operating systems for hacking.
- Kali Linux
- Parrot os
- Ubuntu
- Windows
To know more about them read our full blog.
- Kali Linux
Kali Linux is a Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at advanced penetration testing and security auditing. It contains 600+ tools for penetration testing and security research. It is free and easily accessible and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit computers.
2. Parrot os
Parrot os is also a Linux distribution based on Debian. Kali and parrot os are more likely similar, but parrot os has an advantage over kali because it has more tools and is very lightweight. It is a good option for those who are intermediate in Linux.
3. Ubuntu
Ubuntu is also a Linux-based os belongs to the Debian family. It doesn’t come packed with hacking and penetration testing tools, but they can be installed as per the requirements. It is freely available for use and is open source. Actually, it is a good option for beginners to Linux.
4. Windows
Windows are developed and marketed by Microsoft. Most people don’t even know that can we use windows as a hacking platform. The answer is yes, almost every tool used in hacking is available, just you have to do is download and install it in your windows. For example Docker, Cain, and Abel.
