Presented at corncon 2017 by

[30 minutes] I will be giving a live demo of several Parrot Linux use cases. Parrot is a GNU/Linux OS specializing in: Security (custom hardened kernel) Anonymity (tor, i2p, veracrypt, LUKS) Pentesting (OSINT, vuln analysis, exploitation, forensic analysis, etc). Parrot Linux was selected linux.com for the best linux distro of 2017. (https://www.linux.com/news/learn/sysadmin/best-linux-distributions-2017) The main topic for this presentation is a live demo on how to install parrot onto a dvd & usb (LUKS Encrypted Persistence storage). Parrot can run live on memory from a live dvd or usb, no hard drive needed. If there is time available, I will also cover: Cryptography I will explain GNUPG fundamentals, and its importance. Then I will demonstrate: How create a gpg key How to encrypt then decrypt a file How to configure a hardened gpg.conf file. Anonymity I will explain the importance of anonymity software in the modern internet ecosystem. I will then demonstrate: How to use tor to protect yourself & your identity access the clearnet, and the darknet. How to use i2p to securely & anonymously communicate with eepsites. How to remove metadata Finally, I will provide a brief overview on the pentesting tools offered Parrot Linux. Parrot Linux offers hundreds of pentesting tools. For legal reasons I will only explain the tools use and where to find more information on them. My goal for this presentation is to give a talk which provides to the audience a useful skill which they can walk away with. I will give away a few preinstalled live disks & usbs to individuals most interested in the subject. I will also pass out linux cheatsheets, as well as a list of commands used so the audience can replicate the steps I performed in the presentation. I have been using parrot for 3 years, and volunteering within the community for 5 months now. I have written for the parrot wiki: (https://docs.parrotsec.org/doku.php/anonsurf) (original: https://github.com/xe1phix/ParrotSecWiki/blob/master/AnonSurf.txt) (Parrot OS demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZmXTnOlmME)
