Kali Linux for WSL now available on Windows Store
by zitstif on Mar.06, 2018, under Posts
This is pretty neat:
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.
A solution for Windows 10 Pro activation issues
by zitstif on Sep.09, 2017, under Posts
If you have recently swapped a motherboard in a Windows 10 system that is a MBR based system (this may work for UEFI based systems, though I doubt it) and you’re running into activation issues like the following:
0x803f7001
Unable to reach Windows activation servers
Your key is not valid etc…
‘slui 4’ in run prompt doesn’t work
Try this:
1.) Open an elevated cmd prompt.
2.) C:\Windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk NMCXD-TFQ77-PVBCT-XVV68-TQ726
3.) You may get an error message but you can ignore this.
4.) slui 4 in run prompt should work now and you can activate your Windows 10 Pro installation via the installation ID.
If this doesn’t work, you have any issues, questions or comments, please leave a comment below.
