Penetration Testing

Which Penetration testing can I use inside QubesOS without having any conflict?

Kali/Parrot both are based on debian. So, I think it may create a problem while updating packages.

Please help me. What can I do? Is there any way to avoid conflict while using suggested OS’s or should I choose another distro?

What conflicts?

Unman provides templates for Kali, Parrot & Arch (BlackArch).

You’d be on your own with other distros but, they ought install fine as Standalone/HVMs.

You are right in that sometimes the update process can cause problems.
Also Parrot cannot be updated with the Qubes Updater - this is an
upstream bug that I have fixed, but has not yet filtered down to Qubes.

I outline a process for avoiding conflicts here
In Debian you can use apt-mark hold to ensure that packages are not
updated or removed.

Since you are using separate templates for the pentesting there is not
issue conflicting with other standard templates.

I never presume to speak for the Qubes team. When I comment in the Forum or in the mailing lists I speak for myself.
