Hey man, I really wanted to tell you thank you. I have been watching your server videos. I completed my A+ and Network+ certs about 6 months ago. I am now a Network Administrator. I have been working with VMware, Kemp load balancer, and raspberry pis. I wouldn't have even known where to start if not for your videos. So thank you for everything you do and I can't wait to dig more into your videos. You are awesome and keep doing what you are doing, you inspire me.
For the ones currently having issues installing the (sudo apt install kali-win-kex -y)... First type the command in Kali (sudo atp update) then (sudo atp upgrade) then enter (sudo apt install kali-win-kex -y) It will Fix it 100%! Credit to someone else that solved it. Wanted to paste it up top so others can see/find it...
For the people that want to use this for 'hacking'. For now its not possible to have a reverse shell or a small webserver of some sort through wsl2. Unless you do it with port forwarding, but thats just messy. Virtual machines are still the way to go
Absolutely. At the moment there is no possibility to set the network adapter into bridge mode so that the WSL2 VM gets a local IP address. So basic tasks like scanning your local subnet using nmap is not possible. Use a hypervisor as long as MS doesn't give you direct network access for your WSL VM. You can then connect to it using VNC to work with its desktop environment.
Man another great video, thanks for the heads up, I've been using WSL since it first came out and had no idea about a bunch of those features, so thanks for that!
Just a few handy keyboard shortcuts here: ⌨️ 2:23 - Exit BIOS saving changes: just hit the F10 key 2:59 - Launching a program with elevated privileges: Ctrl + Shift + Enter [works for Search (Win + S) results, things entered into the "Run" (Win + R) dialog (both programs and commands) and in the Explorer (Win + E)] Maybe someone also likes being a keyboard ninja 😎✊
@@karimhabib5885 not appreciably. WSL1 was slower, but I've been impressed by WSL2's responsiveness. I have a Core i7 with 32gb RAM running in an NVME drive. Lower end HW may have different results.
What a story.... First.. Windows was lonely, didn't have anyone to talk to until Microsoft introduced Windows to Linux, Linux and Windows had a pretty good relationship, they talked to each other, they wrote to each other, messaged each other day and night, until they found each other in a very good relationship that they are now in love. Their relationship just got stronger which got them engaged to each other that they are now super connected, and with that, therefore came WSL to gift each other after they had a pretty good date, which lead to an even stronger relationship and Windows just got older which turned it from 10 to 11, and they've been married happily ever after... Got their own things, Windows can now run Linux and Linux can change to look like Windows, and they have made a ton of babies now and having something which is called WSLg... One called Kali, one called Ubuntu, and so on and so fourth... You can now interact with them on Windows and they will act just like themselves. And they lived happily ever after, The End.
I would strongly recommend against installing this if you plan on using VirtualBox in addition to this. You will end up breaking all of the virtual machines in VirtualBox and even uninstalling WSL won't help you. If you do this anyway and you want VirtualBox to work again, you will have to open "Turn Windows features on or off" from Control Panel (or just search for it) and then turn off everything related to virtualization and WSL. WSL is far from a replacement of running a virtual machine, and some stuff won't work in this environment.
Buddy, things are going in light speed Tempo and your channel is The best source of information on ongoing evolution in IT world, congratulations on your tireless effort to cover every aspect of this unbelievable experience, and thank you for that in the name of all of your grateful spectator-pupils!
You can also run kali linux sessions through powershell. Start a powershell session and run as administrator. When you start session run command . After that is installed successfully, run the command and this should start a kali session directly on powershell terminal.
Amazing!!! Quick question: how will this affect performance? For performance, is it better to install apps on the linux side or windows side? Also, I've heard that Virtualization Based Security on Windows 11 can drastically decrease performance, that can remain disabled right?
It doesnt affect performance as I know. on almost every new PC's have virtualization enabled and also VBS can be disabled by windows defender. It's there as core isolation
hyper-v does not decrese overall performance, the only downside is that you cant really use any other virtualization if you enable it. Virtualbox will run terrible slow, to make it fast again you have to turn off hyper-v but then wsl2 wont work. Other then that there is no issues and perrformance is great. Keep in mind that wsl2 is not really ment to be a secure layer. its mostly intended for developing and testing purposes
1:54 There is a constant and easier way to get to the BIOS Just hold LShift while pressing "Reboot" on Windows 10/11. Not Shutdown, Reboot. You´ll get sent to some blue screens, that pprompt you on what you want to do, and among these options is the Startup to BIOS. No Timing No Mashing F1-del at 20 cps.
Main customizability would be allocating the hardware resources like cpu cores, ram and storage that you want… I would think getting a virtual box or VMWare and running kali on those be better for say ethical hacking purposes…
Hey Chuck, not that you will actually see this and respond but, I was wondering what version of windows do you run as your daily driver? I see windows 10 on the screen to your left which is different than the one you use in your VM for these videos. Great video, Thanks!
I'd say most likely both. I know that I run Win 11 on my desktop since the beta came out on day 1, but to learn it before it becomes the new norm. Then on my other machines Windows 10 for now. Win 11 still has some bugs but I suspect they will be worked out in the next 6 months or less hopefully. Just like Windows 10 when it first came out. I still miss right clicking on the task bar to get to the task manager, hopefully they will bring it back in a future update.
yea this was with me also, but I found a solution for this... Do this in Kali linux app: 1) sudo apt update then wait to get the first command executed. then do second one: i.e. 2) sudo apt upgrade then execute the command to install kali-win-kex. you will get success...
WSL ESL2 have both been available in Win 10 for a long time WSG is the only new one with Win11 But in my opinion it is restrictive running only the distro's that Windows has in their list or store there are workarounds but for me I think it is a great leap forward but at the same time we should be able to install any distro we want.
With virtualization it is in it's own container instead of a subsystem of Linux within Windows. Do you need seperation and portability of a VM or just run it locally with WSL?
*I will forever be in-depted to you 😇 you've changed my life I'll continue to preach about your name for the world to hear* *you've saved me from a huge financial debt with just little investment. Thanks Mercy Greg*
I think WSLg was just a part of me going from Insiders Build to it's release. David just uploaded an awesome Elon Musk/Does he know how the internet works video. I love your guys' content. You're reshaping the IT and cyber security world. Thank you so much for the last two years of content from yoy guys while I got my Cert⁷⁷⁷
the major drawback is : you are actually not using linux :D joke beside if you wanna learn linux its a good thing but if you want to use linux fully as an Administrator it's just like a VM. As an Linux Administrator I can tell you, it doesn't matter if you use Windows or Linux. They are just Operation Systems. Linux is free and Open Source and if you are really good you can manage the whole system. Windows is paid and you can't actually play/change with the system data. Btw the drivers won't have any issues on WSL. Like I said its just a build in VM. And if you just want to learn Linux for Kali Tools stay on Windows and use WSL2. You also can still write Bash Scripts and run them too. (Bash Script is a must know for a ethical hacker. Still my opinion tho.)
@@Koddunyam thanks for your answer! I also found another drawback that you can't fiddle with network adapters and stuff as it doesn't show usbs and shows the wireless adapter as Ethernet... Was really hoping we could do that! I'm sure there's a workaround but stuffs too complicated and I don't have the time rn.. Also, I too use Linux on bare metal :)
@@Koddunyam Should wsl2 be fine for web development using Ubuntu? In work I use Virtual Machine so I'm experimenting at home on my win10 machine, thanks!
for people getting errors while trying to install the GUIness try to update first using the command "sudo apt update" then you can install using "sudo apt install -y kali-win-kex"
Another kick ass video man, appreciate it. With the VPN segment you should mention the 14 eyes. Extremely important when picking your VPN. Which by the way PIA is a non 14 eyes VPN which is perfect. (It means the U.S. and other countries can not get the data from the VPN provider).
If anyone gets wonky graphics when running the Linux apps in GUI after installing, you just need to restart WSL. In an elevated command prompt window (not a Linux window), type wsl --shutdown and then re-open the affected Linux GUI app, it should work properly after that.
Just want to say if you've never used Linux, and are frustrated with Windows/MacOS I'd still recommend using a VM with a distro like CentOS or Manjaro just to ease your way into Linux. Taking the dive and reformatting with the latest version of Ubuntu or Linux is going to end up being a challenge for most folks.
I'm a bit irritated with TH-cam. For some reason I never got a notification for this video. Now I have to go back in and see what else I missed that was very interesting. As for WSL, is kali operating just as it would on a standalone Linux system? For instance, has anyone heard about a network adapter card that works on the Linux system , but doesn't work on the Windows WSL system? I'm going to give it a go either way because it just occurred to me more devices might work since you have Windows Linux "married"😆. I had a KILLER (intel) card in my laptop that I thought for sure was going to work , but it didn't.
So trying this out on win10 as apose to using vbox or vm workstation. Seems legit so far. Only thing prior to installing win-kex be sure to run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y or it will fail the install due to dependencies.
Hi bro, I like you very much. You speak very well. It's both educational and entertaining. Tnx for good videos. I'm sorry that I don't know little English well. You made a video that told the difference between ubunts and kali.
DUDE WTF, why have i been having to install on another part of a hard drive all these years, no one has ever said we could do this. you are blowing my mind.
I am jk, normally networking is enabled by default I didn’t have to do anything. You could check /etc/resolv.conf in the linux vm and see if things look alright there. Or maybe share more information about the error you are getting so that we can help you.
Thanks for everything ! i use linux on a regular basis for debug and this is such a time saver. My life is complete now, windows with integrated linux interface, what a fucking time to be alive.
YT algo loves you... I watched two of your vids, now my feed is literally filled with your videos.... Thanks for this, one other good reason to update to Win11, does WSLG runs on Metal? I mean can I run CUDA inside it while leveraging my RTXes?
Here are some problems I met after I played with WSL2. 1. Some advanced software such as TotalView for parallel debugging has not yet supported wsl2. 2. The visualization of some IDEs such as eclipse open in WSL2 also has some display issues. (size and resolution can not change) 3. Another disadvantage for WSL2 is that the read and write speed across the system is really slow(off course it can be solved through copy the entire project from windows to $$WSL2). The worest problem that I had is that some times the break points in IDEs like CLions in WSL2 or other virtual machien based on hyper-v tech just did not work. I have retried my project on ubuntu OS, the break points get hit perfectly. I could not figure out the reason, but I guess GDB through terminal might still work. Therefore, after struggling in WSL2 for so much time. I suggest that for parallel programming work (except those ussing microsoft mpi), a dual boot or pure linux OS is still necessary.
This thing evertime I trry it , even after sqitching from Windows 11 to 10 ...When I run kex to view linux GUI it says..."Error connecting to the Kex Server"
I downloaded Kali Linux following your tutorial but I dont have the kali folder with all the apps on my device… also, I get an error message trying to open kex
Error connecting to the KeX server. Please try "kex start" to start the service. If the server fails to start, please try "kex kill" or restart your WSL2 session and try again.] error plz help

With virtualization it is in it's own container instead of a subsystem of Linux within Windows. Do you need seperation and portability of a VM or just run it locally with WSL?

If anyone gets wonky graphics when running the Linux apps in GUI after installing, you just need to restart WSL. In an elevated command prompt window (not a Linux window), type wsl --shutdown and then re-open the affected Linux GUI app, it should work properly after that.
You can enter an elevated command prompt easier. Windows key + R, type cmd, and press ctrl + shift + enter! Boom
Just want to say if you've never used Linux, and are frustrated with Windows/MacOS I'd still recommend using a VM with a distro like CentOS or Manjaro just to ease your way into Linux. Taking the dive and reformatting with the latest version of Ubuntu or Linux is going to end up being a challenge for most folks.
Great! It means I don't need to use VMware Workstation Pro to learn Linux.
Great job & assistance champion .... Coffee breaks was fun👌
Chucks always chucks 🔥🔥❤️❤️
love it , i am just running it . Chuck best man on youtube
We use linux because we love linux as a whole ecosystem which comes with privacy and other stuffs, and not just sub system in the windows.
yeah I agree. Hosting anything linux on windows is vomit inducing. DON'T TRUST IT.
Wow, you always got a new update I love this 😍 sweet my tummy 😂😆
I’m good on that. I will always use a VM or my other laptop but it’s pretty cool though and convenient. .
I'm a bit irritated with TH-cam. For some reason I never got a notification for this video.
Now I have to go back in and see what else I missed that was very interesting.
As for WSL, is kali operating just as it would on a standalone Linux system?
For instance, has anyone heard about a network adapter card that works on the Linux system , but doesn't work on the Windows WSL system?
I'm going to give it a go either way because it just occurred to me more devices might work since you have Windows Linux "married"😆.
I had a KILLER (intel) card in my laptop that I thought for sure was going to work , but it didn't.
So trying this out on win10 as apose to using vbox or vm workstation. Seems legit so far. Only thing prior to installing win-kex be sure to run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y or it will fail the install due to dependencies.
Oh man, if I had found this video 1 month ago, I wouldn't have had to setup xRDP and saved so much time ! Thanks for sharing this feature !
Hi bro, I like you very much. You speak very well. It's both educational and entertaining. Tnx for good videos. I'm sorry that I don't know little English well. You made a video that told the difference between ubunts and kali.
got a filling today so i spent my time just doing this great timewaster good job nice content as always
You can tell when someone never uses windows when *they call the Microsoft store, windows store* 😂😂😂
Your video are super awesome you give more useful information that i learned in university , thank you , please keep make more videos
9:55 what if kali linux gives me:
E: unable to locate package kali-win-kex
Awesome ! Gonna have to try this out instead of running kali in virtual box.
Your selling tactics are amazing make me feel like I need a cup of coffee
It's amazing that Microsoft finally supports Linux and embedded Linux kernel as their subsystem.
So amazing they don't allow us to run Microsoft apps (officially) on Linux
Microsoft is an amazing company
@Can a swallow swallow? yeah I know :/
The CEO, Satya Nadela loves linjz unlike the previous ceo (steve balmer)
@@valaki3703 I mean they're a corporate company ... at least it's better than having nothing but for the MacOS-inspired UI.
DUDE WTF, why have i been having to install on another part of a hard drive all these years, no one has ever said we could do this. you are blowing my mind.
I gave up windows for mx linux and not looking back should have 20 years ago
scared the crap outta me with that rising rumble at 3:20
What app will let me disable windows? I only purchase windows at this point to have something to put Linux on.
pretty cool, will have to see what i like playing in more this or a VM
how can i fix this. when it says
'wls' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
How do I enable “Enable Networking” ?
You just enable it
I am jk, normally networking is enabled by default I didn’t have to do anything. You could check /etc/resolv.conf in the linux vm and see if things look alright there. Or maybe share more information about the error you are getting so that we can help you.
Thanks for everything ! i use linux on a regular basis for debug and this is such a time saver. My life is complete now, windows with integrated linux interface, what a fucking time to be alive.
YT algo loves you... I watched two of your vids, now my feed is literally filled with your videos....
Thanks for this, one other good reason to update to Win11, does WSLG runs on Metal? I mean can I run CUDA inside it while leveraging my RTXes?
sir I did not create a password Now how to create a password?
Here are some problems I met after I played with WSL2.
1. Some advanced software such as TotalView for parallel debugging has not yet supported wsl2.
2. The visualization of some IDEs such as eclipse open in WSL2 also has some display issues. (size and resolution can not change)
3. Another disadvantage for WSL2 is that the read and write speed across the system is really slow(off course it can be solved through copy the entire project from windows to $$WSL2).
The worest problem that I had is that some times the break points in IDEs like CLions in WSL2 or other virtual machien based on hyper-v tech just did not work. I have retried my project on ubuntu OS, the break points get hit perfectly. I could not figure out the reason, but I guess GDB through terminal might still work.
Therefore, after struggling in WSL2 for so much time. I suggest that for parallel programming work (except those ussing microsoft mpi), a dual boot or pure linux OS is still necessary.
This thing evertime I trry it , even after sqitching from Windows 11 to 10 ...When I run kex to view linux GUI it says..."Error connecting to the Kex Server"
I downloaded Kali Linux following your tutorial but I dont have the kali folder with all the apps on my device…
also, I get an error message trying to open kex
Yeah men me too
Nice video, but Windows and Linux will never marry, Linux will always be better!
Error connecting to the KeX server.
Please try "kex start" to start the service.
If the server fails to start, please try "kex kill" or restart your WSL2 session and try again.]
error plz help
Chuck how do you install kali linux tool in ubuntu?
