ParrotSec team released Parrot 4.8, a new major version of their Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution for ethical hacking, security research, and penetration testing.

Parrot 4.8 is here more as an up-to-date installation media, bringing all the software updates and security patches that landed in the Debian Testing (Sid) repository between September 2019 and March 2020.

However, users will be pleased to also find the latest long-term supported Linux 5.4 kernel series, which will be supported until 2022 and adds better support for newer hardware, as well as the recently released MATE 1.24 desktop environment.
