Cybersecurity, Ethical Hacker Operating System Poll (lemmy.world)

I'm polling on disparate platforms and Mastodon has very healthy Cybersecurity Communities so that's why I'm posting that graphic.

Please comment with your daily driver host OS if you'd like and even better why you chose it. I'll add them all up and post the results back here.

If you'd like to vote on Mastodon the link is https://infosec.space/@wravoc/113411504241010388 with only two days left.

"Other" leads at 38% and I have a feeling it's all the Debian based distros, yeah? I did not have room on the don for Athena OS but I would have.

Expanded List:

Windows
Mac
Kali
Parrot
Fedora
Secureblue
Kicksecure
Whonix
Qubes
Alpine
OpenBSD
AthenaOS
Backbox
Black Arch
Tails
Pentoo
SigintOS
FreeBSD

And remember, Hackers aren't Crackers!

I've run almost every OS.

My daily driver is Debian. It's practical, efficient, stable, and with just a few commands clipped out of blog articles, it morphs into whatever weird silly thing I happen to need it to be, this year.

I think Debian was one of the first major Linux distros to fully implement full PIE and ASLR and is probably the most robust implementation. The only downside in my mind to Debian is the target size, opportunity gain, huge. Thanks for your comment.

Arch, you can fully customize it to your needs, and has access to AUR for more hacking tools.

Great point, thought the same thing myself. The Athena repo works well on CachyOS for example. Thanks for the input.

Whoa, the downvotes are real! I had to slice up that title text and render it to path for the 3D effect, took forever, was like 30 layers. It took forever to get it just right and replacing Mastodon with "Lemmy" was just too much work. Was that it? I don't get it ;)
