WTF!!! Windows, They Finally… added Linux???

You have probably been using Microsoft Windows for years. Many different versions through the good and bad. How many of you have said to yourself, "Self? I'm running Windows... How can I make this experience better?"... Well, the improbable has finally been done... Linux... Microsoft now has a ported an Ubuntu bash app that you can install on Windows 10. That's right. Linux bash inside Windows 10. Once installed, you can create a link to the bash shell of an Ubuntu instance. Then you use apt to install and keep it up to date. 

What? Jeremy, you must be drunk again...  Well, no... I thought I was too, but I tried it and it freakin' works. Why would you do that you may ask? Why the heck not? What else can you do with this? Well? Let's install some of the Kali tools. WTF Jeremy. Why? Again, I must answer with Why the heck not... Let’s get started

I was able to install it seamlessly thanks to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide. 

You can update, upgrade, and install software the same way you do with other Linux systems using apt.

• sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoclean
• sudo apt install htop

Now let’s test some things

• df -h
• sudo htop

Now you can easily install some of the same tools Kali uses by using a tool called Katoolin. This just automates the process.

• sudo su
• git clone https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git && cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin
• chmod +x /usr/bin/katoolin
• sudo katoolin

Review: It seemed like a good idea at the time. This is a limited Linux environment, so there are a lot of things that just don’t work. At least yet. With that said, it is awesome to see this addition to Windows 10. There are a lot of basic things that can be done with how it is even in beta mode. I cannot wait to see what they come up with next.
