WSL - windows subsystem for linux

 


1. From the start menu, type "Turn Windows features on or off". Check the box, Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Subsystem for Linux or in the command prompt simply give this command:

wsl.exe --install --no-distribution

Now Restart the system. 

If wsl is already installed, then give this command: wsl.exe --update


2. Now from Microsoft store download kali linux and install it. Or you can give this command to see list of distributions. Then install based on your choice. 

To see list of distributions:

wsl.exe --list --online

To install:

wsl.exe --install --distribution <Distro Name>

i.e. wsl --install --distribution kali-linux


3. Now it will ask for username and password, say at the time of installing kali-linux here. Provide that. 


4. Once it is installed, it has come with very minimum package installation. 

Run the following commands to install all packages:

sudo apt update

sudo apt full-upgrade -y

sudo apt install -y kali-linux-default (This requires 15GB around space and if you see that package is not installing and giving 403 forbidden error, then install cloudflare warp vpn and enable it then try again.)
sudo apt install -y kali-linux-large (If you have large hd space then you can go for this. All kali tools will be installed here)


5. For GUI mode, install:

sudo apt install -y kali-win-kex


6. To start it inside from wsl (window mode):

kex --win -s (Ask you for the default user's password which you created a while ago. For question would you like to enter a view-only password? type y)

From windows command prompt:
wsl -d kali-linux kex --win -s

Enhanced Session Mode:

Inside of Kali WSL: kex --esm --ip -s

On Window’s command prompt: wsl -d kali-linux kex --esm --ip -s

Seamless Mode:

Inside of Kali WSL: kex --sl -s

On Window’s command prompt: wsl -d kali-linux kex --sl -s
