Parrot or Kali?
| None, if I need a tool that just so happens to be bundled with Kali I'll just install it on my distribution of choice instead.
| Kali Linux is very thorough. I've never needed anything else for basic penetration testing so I can't truthfully say it's the best.
| lfs
| Kali is for ppl who know their stuff. I know it hurts but it's true and I'm not one of them. I like Parrot bc it's harder to get bricked by my stupidity also it's market as secure to use for everyday purpose. Kali is not iirc.

This is the true answer. Kali/Parrot are learning tools, prebundled collections of tools for ease and comfort of use. But if you're looking for comfort when unerh4x00ring, you're doing it very wrong.
| Well my guess is that both are for people who know their salt and want most/all of the necessary software available from the box.
Also Kali is good to boot from external drive rather than use as the main system.
| There is nothing in Kali that is on Debian's repos though. Not to downplay Kali, but if you already have debian, all what Kali has is only an apt-get away.
| (that is *not* on the repos - at the first sentence)
| Black Arch can be an option too, I think it has way more tools than Kali Linux.
| As an actual pentester, Kali is great. To the nerds saying "omg I can install it on my Ubuntu already!! 1!" That isn't the point. Kali has everything working without the usual dependency hell and is good for separating work/"work" from personal.

It does keep your work separate, lol. I have a dedicated hacktop for Kali and keep it off my home rig.
| Practice!

| For those who used either, what is your experience, are you using it as a pentester, an uberhaxxor, just playing around?
Curious.
