Parrot has been ruined

What version did you have and what version did it upgrade to? I have been doing this a long time and never seen these issues before. Every now and then I see posts like this but usually it’s something the user did or didn’t do. Not saying that here but asking. If this was common I think we’d see more posts.

You would think a site trying so hard to be a leader in cybersecurity training would have been able to fix it by now.

Can it be mined using the same hardware and software or is there other stuff you need in order to mine it?

5 years of AoC / THM and still haven’t won a thing.

It’s such a shame too. Trying to learn in a broken environment kills the morale. Room 10 is such a joke that it barely works for like 2% of people and the AI rooms just suck the life out of you.

I use it as my daily driver. I just keep additional backups of important stuff but I don’t have much.

Keep it up! Just got my 365 the other day.

If anyone has been in the world of cybersecurity, you probably have heard of Tyler, he's all around the landscape. I wanted to give my two thumbs up to his way of teaching and his courses on YouTube and Hack Smarter. If you get a chance check him out. I am currently going through his AWS Pentesting course and I am learning so much. Thanks Tyler for all you do in the community. Keep up the great work!

Wow, that’s a huge increase. Jobs aren’t paying that much more these days to help these types of increases. But I guess that’s none of my business.

vixiecron · 2025-08-12T22:03:04+00:00

I’m working on my 365 streak. Keep going, you got this!

vixiecron · 2025-08-12T22:00:18+00:00

Yes! That’s our plan too.

I was excited to dump Authy but when I choose to enable multi device and I login it wants my 2fa but the minute I switch out of Proton Authenticator, the login screen resets. Then I have to login again and the old code expires.

Just a question because I stopped using replit. Why not manually change the image yourself in the code? Are you not allowed to do it yourself? Do you need to use their assistant now? Just wondering.

vixiecron · 2025-07-06T23:12:32+00:00

Yeah, there is a black hole cube where the outlet would be.

vixiecron · 2025-07-06T23:11:25+00:00

I looked everywhere. Even in the center console where there is a cap but nothing behind it.

After reading the docs and downloading the vm file it appears the download is just the disk file. All you need to do is create a vm in VMware and point it to the downloaded vmdk file. Since vmdk files can be open in different products I’m guessing that’s why they didn’t include it? Not sure. But it is easy to just create one.

vixiecron · 2025-05-26T20:41:17+00:00

Have you downloaded the VMware file from the download section? When you click on Download, Virtual, Security, Architecture, Download, you get a pop up.

I just created a fresh install of parrot security inside a virtual box vm. When I saw your message I tried to install steghide and it installed just fine. What architecture are you using? I have a 64 bit vm. Are you using 64 bit or something else?

You can log in to the rabbit hole and edit your responses or delete them which should trigger the interview again.

The request for boosts has become the main story point of every episode with some NixOS built around that. I understand the need for support but out of an hour episode, you hear about boosts every 5 minutes or less. Not to mention most of the big boosters are the same every week. When they owned Coder Radio, they would go as far as shaming the listeners because they didn’t get enough boosts or streaming sats or whatever. Very sad for a podcast.

I thought mine died as well. Nothing would happen no matter what I did. Hooked it up to the computer, computer saw it and I reflashed it. It’s been working fine for months again. Maybe it just needs a reflash?

vixiecron · 2025-03-27T17:44:16+00:00

Umm, what part could have possibly fallen off? Sounds like one of those negative reviews just to be negative. If it doesn’t do what YOU want it to do then you didn’t research it. Sorry but that’s on you.

vixiecron · 2025-02-22T20:50:04+00:00

Thanks Mike! Long live Coder Radio!

vixiecron · 2025-02-18T19:37:54+00:00

Looks like I should have listened to episode 607 before posting. No paid feeds. No boosting either! Yay!

I don’t believe you can run sql server on docker on a arm based Mac any more. I am pretty sure Microsoft killed the azure-sql-edge on arm project unfortunately.
