Kali Linux for WSL now available on Windows Store

Leave a comment

This is pretty neat:

https://tech.slashdot.org/story/18/03/06/1334255/kali-linux-for-wsl-now-available-in-the-windows-store

However, I have a couple concerns. First, how useful will it be? Currently on a Windows 10 system, I have WSL setup and nmap is essentially useless:

tester@Win10virtual:~$ sudo nmap -sP -n -T4 192.168.1.254

Starting Nmap 7.01 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-03-06 14:10 STD
dnet: Failed to open device eth0
QUITTING!

There is discussion about this issue here:

https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/1349

There is discussion of other network tools having socket related issues.

Second, how will AV handle tools like metasploit, powersploit, social engineering toolkit and the like that may set off AV engines?

I honestly think WSL is awesome but at this point I would recommend running whatever Linux distro of your desire on VirtualBox or the like.

For those of you wanting to get Kali Linux/Nethunter on “X” phone.. there is hope

It’s starting to look like kali-nethunter is supporting more devices:

It looks like they’ve also released a python script that will build a flashable Nethunter zip file to put on your phone:

Kali Linux 2.0 (x64) system upgrade GUI fix

Leave a comment

When Kali Linux 2.0 came out I decided to upgrade my laptop to this version through the upgrade process (which took very long keep in mind.. it may have just been quicker to just reload the OS). Upon completion of the upgrade process I noticed the desktop GUI and windows didn’t look quite right. Additionally the theme wasn’t right either. Long story short I had to install these packages to fix the issue:

Kali Linux NetHunter

4 Comments

It looks like my Kali Linux chroot environment has been superseded per se. I am very excited about Kali Linux NetHunter (http://nethunter.com/), and this may drive me to purchase a Nexus 5 so I can have OTG support and perform wireless attacks more easily versus having to use a Y USB cable with my current Nexus 4.

I had a HID attack idea for the Nokia N900, but it appears the folks over at offensive-security have put something together for the Android/Nexus platform. Please have a look at this video:

Kali Linux NetHunter HID Attack from Offensive Security on Vimeo.

One caveat I have noticed is that NetHunter currently only supports Nexus series devices:

(From nethunter.com ):

Supported Devices:

The Kali NetHunter image is currently compatible with the following Nexus devices:

  • Nexus 4 (GSM) – “mako” – EXPERIMENTAL SUPPORT
  • Nexus 5 (GSM/LTE) – “hammerhead”
  • Nexus 7 [2012] (Wi-Fi) – “nakasi”
  • Nexus 7 [2012] (Mobile) – “nakasig”
  • Nexus 7 [2013] (Wi-Fi) – “razor”
  • Nexus 7 [2013] (Mobile) – “razorg”
  • Nexus 10 – “mantaray”

With that being said, my article on weaponizing the android platform may still be of use to a lot of you who don’t own Nexus series devices: http://zitstif.no-ip.org/?p=811
