Parrot on VirtualBox - networking lost

[Heinz09 (Heinrich Ludike)]

For some strange reason, my internet was working on any network. After the update, I cannot ping any URL (google.com, parrotsec.org. I can ping any IP address with no issues.

I updated and configured my OpenVas and everything still worked, but that was while I was busy with my OS upgrade.

Any idea what might be causing this, as I have read NOT to tamper with /etc/hosts as it gets regenerated after every reboot.

I am running Parrot in VirtualBox where I installed it to via (ISO I downloaded). I am currently running Parrot 4.7 and I have upgraded everything last night via parrot-upgrade.

Static DNS Parrot OS

I was trying to set a static DNS in Parrot OS Sec, and i got some problems, the issue was that the /etc/resolv.conf file was not a symbolic link to /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf So all my requests were not using my static dns set by network manager Solution : sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf sudo ln -s /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf sudo service network-manager restart And it worked !

I found the solution here!
