Changing Perpectives into DevSecOPs - Playing around with ParrotOS


For quite sometime, I have refrain myself to keep this blog updated. The last time I did published something was around March this year (2019). Uhmm, I guess I've being a bit lazy I'd say ..

Lolo 😀 ..

Joke apart - today, I am starting a series of blog post for around stuff, I am currently working on..

And this is post is around ParrotOS ..

Due to the nature of this post, I'll presume the reader is familiar with ParrotOS - if not the please have read more about ParrotOS .. As I will not explain it here.

So - Today I did quick refreshment into the ParrotOS VM instance I have installed on VMware Workstation *[https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation-pro.html ]. I haven't used if for quite a while so, it was a bit rustier, therefore I need to updated it.

Whoever the ParrotOS update command was failing with error:

code: [
Temporary failure resolving ‘deb.parrot.sh”

Fig - 01












- As per the screenshot shows, I was unable to connect into Update ParrotOS or connect into the web, as the DNS was not resolving.

- Neither ping commands worked.

--
After some search into Google here is how I did resolved this..









- By updating the DNS record I was able to then Connect into the internet .. Also you can check the following file:
 ==> $ cat /etc/resolv.conf

*Optional*  - I would advice you to add temporarily
 ==> $ echo >> "nameserver 1.1.1.1" /etc/resolv.conf

It started work afterwards ..
























As also was by then able to update the OS;































As still working.. Hope this helps whoever struggles to connect your VM or main machine into the internet.

===> $ sudo anosurf dns
