• Operating System for Hacking
Hacking is an attempt to gain unauthorized
access to a computer system or a private
network within a computer. In simple words, it
is the unauthorized use of or control over
computer network security systems for
unauthorized reasons. Hackers use various
techniques to discover threats to improve the
device's security. Hackers could use a
Linuxbased OS to hack a computer or a
network. It involves a wide range of programs
for preventing cyberattacks. In this article,
you will learn the best-operating systems for
hacking.
• There are various
best-operating
systems for
hacking.
1. Kali Linux
2. BlackBox
3. Parrot Security Operating System
4. Fedora Security Lab
5. DEFT Linux
6. Live Hacking Operating System
7. Network Security Toolkit (NST)
8. BlackArch Linux
9. Cyborg Hawk Linux
10. NodeZero

• Kali Linux
It is the most popular hacking operating system. It is a Linux distribution built on
Debian Linux that is intended for digital forensics and penetration testing. It is
funded and maintained by Offensive Security
Ltd. Kali Linux is the best and most popular operating system
for hackers. It includes the firstly opensource Android
penetration testing for Nexus devices. Another great aspect of
the Kali Linux operating system is its forensic mode.
• Features of the Kali
Linux
1.It may be updated without
downloading its latest version. 2.It
supports the USB live installs.
3.It is available in 32 bits and 64
4.You may easily customize and
automate the Kali Linux installation on
the network.

• BlackBox
BackBox is a widely used testing and penetration tool that is based on Ubuntu
Linux. It gives penetration testing and security
assessments, a network and informatics systems
analysis toolbox and a comprehensive set of extra
tools for ethical hacking and security testing. t is a
highly recommended operating system for hackers.It
includes network security, vulnerability tests, web
application analysis, forensics, stress tests, and
exploitation, among many fields of testing and
hacking.
I
• Features of BlackBox
1.It uses the minimum resources of the
system.
2.It is completely automatic and nonintrusive,
requiring no agents or network configuration
changes to provide regular automated
configuration backups.
3.It saves time and eliminates the need of
tracking specific network devices.
4.It is among the first platforms to allow cloud
penetration testing.
5.It provides an easy-to-use desktop
environment.

• Parrot Security
Operating System
It is built on the Debian GNU/Linux.
It combines Frozenbox OS and Kali Linux to give
ethical hackers a better experience with penetration
and security testing in real-world environments. The Frozenbox team has also
created it to provide anonymous Web browsing, computer forensics, and
vulnerability assessment and mitigation.
• Features of Parrot
Security Operating
System
1.It supports the FALCON 1.0
programming language and
numerous compilers and debuggers, and
the Qt5 and.NET/mono frameworks.
2.You may share this OS with others.
3.It is available as lightweight software
that may execute with minimum
resources.
4.It provides supports from experts that
help you in cybersecurity.

• PROSS
Security: SamuraiWTF has a specific
focus on web application security testing, providing users with a curated set of tools and resources tailored for
this purpose. So, professionals have all they need for complete web security tests.
Portable Virtual Machine: SamuraiWTF is distributed as a virtual machine, making it highly portable, quick and
really easy to set up, thus becoming accessible for all users.
Inclusion of Training
Resources: Beyond tools, SamuraiWTF includes training resources and documentation. Users don't just learn
about them, but they also learn the basics, virtualization, the standards and the best practices of web application
security testing.

• Cons
Testing: SamuraiWTF, while excellent
for web application security testing, has a narrower focus. If you
need more tools, it might not be perfect for all kinds of
penetration testing. Resource Intensive: Running a virtual
machine can be resource-intensive, especially on systems with
limited hardware capabilities. You may have performance
issues, based on how you allocate your VM resources, causing
performance issues. Requires Virtualization Software: You can
only use SamuraiWTF with their specific virtualization software.
If your system can't support it, this could cause issues both
when installing and when using SamuraiWTF.List item
• Conclusion
Making the right pick for a hacking operating system (OS)
matters a lot for ethical hackers and security experts.
We've looked at various OS choices such as Kali, Parrot,
Commando VM, BlackBox, BlackArch, and SamuraiWTF.
Each OS was evaluated based on its unique features,
maintenance, and highlights. Even though they all have
strengths, they each have issues.
In essence, the choice of the best hacking OS depends on
the specific needs, preferences, and expertise of the user.
Each OS offers a unique set of features, strengths, and
considerations, contributing to the dynamic landscape of
ethical hacking and cyber security.
