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

Install Nessus from docker

Docker installation. Give the below commands one by one. apt install docker-cli apt install docker.io After the installation is complete, if you are inside wsl then give this command to start docker, because inside wsl systemd (systemctl) does not work: service docker start WSL troubleshooting : If the above command " service docker start " does not work then use below command: dockerd (It may not work if any previous docker process is running. It will show you pid of that process. Use this command to kill that process " kill -9 pid " and run dockerd command again) If " docker ps -a " giving error like " Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///run/podman/podman.sock. Is the docker daemon running? " This is because you may installed podman-docker package. If you remove the package still you will get this error but you should remove the package. Then issue this command: env | grep -i docker DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/podman/podman.sock   -->...
