This is especially exciting news for penetration testers and security professionals who have limited toolsets due to enterprise compliance standards.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">While running Kali on Windows has a few drawbacks to running it natively (such as the lack of raw socket support), it does bring in some very interesting possibilities, such as extending your security toolkit to include a whole bunch of command line tools that are present in Kali. We will update our blog with more news and updates regarding the development of this app as it’s released.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the WSL team at Microsoft, and specifically @tara_msft and @benhillis for all the assistance and guidance with which this feat would not be possible. We hope you enjoy WSL’d Kali on Windows 10!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">Here’s a quick description of the setup and installation process. For an easier copy / paste operation, these are the basic steps taken:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;">1. Update your Windows 10 machine. Open an administrative PowerShell window and install the Windows Subsystem with this one-liner. A reboot will be required once finished.</span></span><br />

A pentest, short-name for <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">penetration test</strong>, is a software attack which looks for security weaknesses in a system. Penetration tests are a component of a full security audit.
