Kali Linux vs Parrot OS — Which one is better for a beginner?

Hey everyone! I’m a beginner learning cybersecurity and ethical hacking, and I’m trying to decide which Linux distro I should use.

For someone starting from scratch, would you recommend Kali Linux or Parrot OS?

I’m mainly interested in learning Linux, networking, CTFs, web security, and penetration testing.

What are the main differences between the two, and which one would be better for learning in the long run?

Any advice or personal experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

How can I use Signal as anonymously as possible?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Signal and I'm trying to understand how to use it as privately and anonymously as possible.

I have a few questions:

Is Signal really safe for private conversations?

What settings should I enable for maximum privacy?

Besides my phone number, what information can other users see?

Are there any privacy mistakes that beginners commonly make?

Any general tips for staying as anonymous as possible while using Signal?
