Privacy
Parrot has developed and implemented several tricks and softwares to achieve high privacy, and AnonSurf is one of the most important examples, it is a software designed to start TOR and hijack all the internet traffic made by the system through the TOR network, we have also modified the system to make it use DNS servers different from those offered by your internet provider.
Parrot also includes torbrowser, torchat and other anonymous services, like I2P, a powerful alternative to TOR.
So, Don't Worry About Privacy In ParrotSec.
Programming With ParrotSec.
The main goal of an environment designed by hackers for hackers is the possibility to change it, adapt it, transform it and use it as a development platform to create new things, this is why Parrot comes out of the box with several tools for developers such as compilers, disassemblers, IDEs, comfortable editors and powerful frameworks.
Parrot includes QTCreator as its main C, C++ and Qt framework.
Another very useful tool is Geany, a lightweight and simple IDE which supports a huge amount of programming languages, while parrot also include Atom, the opensource editor of the future developed by GitHub, and many compilers and interpreters with their most important libraries are pre-installed and ready to use.
And of course many other editors, development softwares and libraries are available through parrot software repository where parrot community keep all the development tools always updated to their most cutting edge but reliable version.
