Notorious hacker group “Anonymous Operations” on Wednesday released the first version of its own desktop operating system. Dubbed Anonymous-OS, the computer platform is built on top of the open-source Linux-based Ubuntu 11.10 operating system, and it also utilizes the open-source Mate desktop environment, The Hacker News reports. It is unclear exactly who is behind the operating system, which comes with a number of tools pre-installed that are apparently Anonymous-approved. Included are Anonymous HOIC, John the Ripper, SQL Poison and more. Version 0.1 of the hacker group’s Anonymous-OS is free and available immediately for download, though readers should obviously exercise caution.

UPDATE: The Anonymous-OS Tumblr blog states that the group’s operating system is “created for educational purposes, to checking the security of web pages,” and the page suggests that users should not “use any tool to destroy any web page.”

If you use an operating system from a hacker group, you probably don't only lack common sense but also sanity...

 

Apart from that it's just ugly as hell.

 

I agree with Kai, anyone who would use this OS would fall for the Nigerian Email scams sad thing is there are plenty of retards in this world that will DL and use it.

Just get Backtrack ffs

 

Exactly my thoughts. It looks like some theme made by a kid just learning how to customise styles lol.. Clearly just something for script kiddies to go 'Im a hacker, look at me!' and feel like microsoft are going to come hunt them down and offer them a job as a top notch ethical hacker.

 

I know only what I need to know in terms of 'hacking', and that purely IS for the purpose of security testing my websites.. I certainly don't feel the need for this OS to do what I do.
