Parrot Security OS 3.9

The most important feature is the new sandbox system, introduced to protect many applications from 0day attacks out of the box. The sandbox is based on firejail, a suid program which is very easy to configure and customize to protect many critical applications in a quick and effective way (if an application does not work as expected, customize the corresponding firejail profile to be more permissive).

It has a new set of Debian updates and a set of fix to make the system more reliable and the new Debian updates.

Actually, it is an experimental update if you have any issues with you need to check firejail profiles and their driver’s compatibility and then need to contact Parrot Security OS team so that they can be refined with Parrot Security 4.0.

In some cases this release might not work as expected, in these cases our users are invited to check their firejail profiles and their drivers compatibility, and they should contact us immediately as all the new features introduced in Parrot 3.9 will be refined and consolidated for Parrot 4.0 (sorry for the spoiler).
