Kali Linux in WSL2
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 06. 2024
- The Windows Subsystem for Linux or WSL2 allows you to run full Linux distributions under Windows. We will install Kali Linux in wsl2 and have a look at some options. Kex is using TigerVNC and is a nice solution, but there is an easier and more transparent way of using X11 apps in WSL2. In the video we will just launch the xfce4 panel inside WSL2 and show it on the Windows desktop. We will use the Hyper-V console to create a virtual switch and map it to the WSL2 container using the .wslconfig file. I'll explain the X11 integration with Wayland, Weston, WSLG, FreeRDP and MSTSC. #kalilinux #wsl2

Hi Marc. Thx for all your great videos. The way you explain anything is wonderful. Keep going :)
Hi Konstantin - thank you very much ;-)
Nice setup! Love the idea of just the kali bar at the top. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Matt, many thanks for watching and commenting ;-)
This is massive wow! thank you so much
Glad you like it! Many thanks!
Lovely advice on leaning resources.. I like that you called out the wifi hacking videos. haha
Thank you
Amazing
well done!!!
Thank you very much!
I use Windows 11 on my 11 years old computer (i7 930) with ancient BIOS before the UEFI age. The trick was to start setup under Hyper-V. After the second reboot, use bcdedit on the host and set it to boot from the virtual disk. The out-of box experience starts on the host. If a virtual disk is not desired, clone the install partition to a physical disk, then edit the registry on the guest: HKLM\guest-SYSTEM\MountedDevices, \DosDevices\C: should use the binary numbers, which the host sees under HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices for the same partition.
Wow - without UEFI - many thanks for sharing ;-)
8:22 to mention that CPU support for nested virtualization is needed for that
Correct - thanks for pointing this out
You’re the man
Thanks a lot;-)
Of zero use to me, as I only run Linux, but I'm going to watch it anyway, to see how windows users suffer. 😁
(And to give Marc another view/comment/thumb up!) I appreciate your videos muchly.
Thanks a lot mate :-) appreciate your comment and commitment;-) In fact, you are right - there might be a lot of suffering on the Windows user side - nevertheless things are getting better and I do actually think that WSL2 can help users who only have Windows on the laptop to start getting to grips with Linux - which is a good thing ;-) Many thanks for watching and liking !!!
Great content! If I already have Ubuntu installed can I still install Kali under WSL2, Marc?
Hi Matt, yes you can. You can (in theory) install as many distributions in parallel as you want.
Thank you for your videos, interesting how to connect usb to wsl2 kali linux?
That's a really good question. I don't really have an answer for this, given the architecture behind it might proof difficult to do. You would probably need some USB-over-the network add on to do that.
On Windows 10 the application X410 works great to get Linux WSL2 GUI Applications working. It is paid for software though.
Many thanks for sharing Ernst! I’ll have a look at that!
Would need you advise. In the windows 11, the 'kex' command (kali prompt) does not start the service on tigerVNC due to "unable to connect to socket: Connection refused(10061)." Is there issues with the packages ? pls advise.
Maybe related to this: github.com/microsoft/WSL/discussions/6675
Kali gui terminal get hang many time when I run command during pentesting cloud .. any solution.. I update & upgrade
Next thing parrot os in VMware was connecting to Internet but stop connecting to net so I use WiFi adapter then after it automatically show connection to net 😅 ..
To my knowledge nmap didn't work under WSL1. Is it now different with WSL2?
Hi Evgeny, it should work under Windows 11. Not sure about Windows 10.
Personally I would have attempted that on windows home version so that the question would not be just hanging there.
Hi Edward, I do not have a Windows Home version so could not try it - sorry about that.
@@OneMarcFifty apparently there is a powershell script running around the internet that will enable hyper-v in windows 10 home. I am not advanced enough to hazard trying it. Have you heard of this ? and , does it work ?? You must know people who could answer this.I've seen the script and even copy pasted it but did not deploy it. Too chicken. Virus total says that it is what it says it is . Home version as is , will not allow hyper v. I am not a big fan of Microsoft.

Many thanks Yousaf, doing that now - I need a bot for that ;-)
