parrot-install.sh

[BramBorg]

Hi,

could someone please update the script parrot-install.sh? It seems to be outdated quite a bit and it is really off-putting trying to get it to work for a n00b. Paths seem to be outdated, changed those in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/parrot.list but still no joy.

Came here via the tutorial on https://exploits.run/parrot-wsl/

Would have posted on the forum but since the script really is broken (paths old, --force-yes instead of allow, etc. ) and available on here I thought I'd post here.

Thanks!!

Verbose returns from the script:

Same issue, try to replace mirrordirector.archive.parrotsec.org by deb.parrotsec.org

Hi! Thanks for replying!
I figured it out!
Little dopamine kick as reward ;-)

[wuno]

@BramBorg glad to hear you figured it out, would you mind sharing with the rest of us how you got it working?

@wuno @BramBorg @vinhjaxt Hello all! I have ported the script to a gist on my own account so I can continue maintaining it. The install is still going through but I've passed the part that was having issues before and I feel pretty confident it's been successful. I have updated the wget script link on the original blog post that Bram posted above. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and I hope this new script helps!

[0m3nsec]

I forked this script and updated it into a working condition as well. Repo is here if @the4rchangel stops maintaining it: https://github.com/0m3nsec/alternate-install
Also cleaned up a few of the commands that have since been deprecated.

[the4rchangel]

@0m3nsec no use in doubling the work, if yours works I'll just pull mine and reference yours in the blog if you're gonna semi-maintain it. Personally I don't think I have the willpower to keep it maintained but I'll gladly work with you on your existing repo haha.

@the4rchangel sounds good to me. Let me know if you run into any issues with it. I run parrotOS on a few servers and this script is the only way I set them up so it shouldn't be too hard to keep up with this as I have to fix it for myself when it breaks anyways.

@0m3nsec if you could email me at [email protected] or tweet me at @the4rchangel that'd be great! Wanna work some stuff out with you, this does not work as is on WSL. Wanna work with you to troubleshoot.

hello guys, if you intend to work on this script, i strongly invite you to contribute to this official repo and make your work part of our project in a more official way.

we have discontinued the development of this script in the past, but since interest in such script is increasing, i would like to maintain it again.

please send an email to team AT parrotsec DOT org so that we can give you access to nest.parrot.sh and give you the proper permissions on our repos
