The Win-KeX tool, developed by Kali, provides users with a way for us to run the Kali Linux distribution in Windows, with the extra bonus of having a GUI (or as they put it 'a Kali Desktop Experience'). Since then, the people responsible for developing Kali have worked hard to make it even easier to manage for us, the simple Windows users. In my previous blog I explained how to configure your Windows machine and how to install the Kali distribution for easy access via the WSL. For people in the Cyber Security field, it is an indispensable tool to have and know how to use. It comes with a large suite of tools and dedicated support. Kali Linux has been regarded as the best Linux distribution for Penetration Testing for some time now. Since then, a lot of advancements have been made to facilitate the use of these distributions for Windows Users.

In my previous blog I went through the steps necessary for setting up WSL and installing an Ubuntu and Kali Linux distribution. This is great, when we want to enjoy the best of both worlds- keep using Windows, with its out-of-the-box configuration and set-up, and still be able to use the powerful tools available for the Linux distribution. Some time ago I wrote a blog about Installing Linux Bash Shell (and Metasploit) on Windows 10.
