sir my wsl -- install thing is not working that installing text is not coming, it says "A connection with the server could not be established". What should i do?
David, without this Video, i doubt i would now have Kali Linux & Ubuntu running on my Win11 64bit Laptop, Thanks for your dedication, time, and your superb way of putting it across, for grassroots starters like myself. All made possible by Copy/Paste the Command prompts you kindly put in your Description. Absolute Legend! Look forward to joining & supporting your Channel, Subbed & Likes all the way! 💯👌👍
@@backoffu just keep in mind that this doesn't install all the pen testing software that comes with Kali. However on the Kali website I found an "everything" command that installs all of those goodies. Took a little bit of time but worked great
@@CurrencyTrader1980 Yo brotha, its alerady been 5 months and whats your experience with kali on wsl2? Does everytin work on it? Is there any drawbacks that you found? I wanna get this clarified.
Hello David! I got Kali (with the GUI) up and running using this tutorial! I had to launch Kex just with "Kex" command to get my sound to work, but thank you for this great content!
Great video sir !!! 1. But will it come with all the functions that Kali has inbuilt in it 2. Which is better having a virtual machine with Kali installed in it or using this way of install it with WSL
David - your Videos Are Very Helpful And Great Without This Video I cannot Download Kali Linux like A virtual Machine and i liked And Subbed thanks for This Helpful Video
I get this error every time, even though I did the following instructions: "Error connecting to the KeX server. Please try "kex start" to start the service. If the server fails to start, please try "kex kill" or restart your WSL2 session and try again."
That’s really great method to install kali, easy and practical. Totally better than having it on vms. One question, does it support the built-in network adapter out of the box? Or should we also use an external adapter.
What your sorry ass doesn't realise is that this is an experiment, nothing more. It doesn't have hardware access. You can't assign external WiFi cards to it. These are just useless gimmicks. The best and the recommended method will always be to use Kali in a VM or bare metal. Not like this.
Very glad to have found this video tutorial.. Very interesting and informative video, David. I currently run Kali on virtual box. Which install do you think is more beneficial for a new cybersecurity student?
What i found that was interesting about wsl2 is that with vcxsrv you can directly run linux apps and any gui straight within windows. Say you wanted to use Dolphin your default file explorer. You can, because your drives are in /mnt/. It takes some tweaking for those apps to actually run though (Ex. using a shell script to run exe files). But you could totally run i3wm or something else as your shell program. It would need a lot of tweaking to, say, show opened apps, but it would probably work fine. There needs to be a project set up to have a Parallels-like experience with linux on windows. That would be cool.
Thank you so much, David!! I've been having some issues running Kali-Linux in my VirtrualBox & instead i just rather went to use the kex --win -s command which has Kalki-Linux up and running in now time! Thank you sir!! "Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down!!" Q U A L I T Y !!!
being a compatibility layer, wsl is mutch lighter than a VM being so able to run at native performance. as far as the choice goes i'm not confortable daily driving kali as wsl instance because being nat-ed, wsl is not exposet to the net and trafic is routed through windows which makes port forwarding the only painful option. so until bridged networking is added you cannot reach back kali (see basic reverse shell as an example) without the painful and "error" prone port forwarding and is not really straight forward if you are a beginner or need to make work done efficiently
i have one problem.... actually i was following all your guidance in this video but due to one mistake i have ruined everything ....while installing ubuntu suddenly it had stopped at 25% so, by mistake i had closed the powershell and when i had tried to open it asked for restart and i did but when i open powershell again i find nothing had downloaded and even wsl --install command is not working , instead some guidance mannual and flag gets opened and even though i had diownload and installed ubuntu using wsl --install -d ubuntu and it had worked but when i downloaded kali linux from ms app and used uname -a then it had shown command not found ....how can i fix all....i hope it have presented my problem in clear way....please guide me...
Sir, there is any way to use macOS Monterey like this in windows 11, i try that in vmware but when i try to implement the newest vertion of vmware tools to that it become success, but after that macOs is working with lag problem. there is any solution for that. hope you will help me! thanks.
thank u but the start gui wont start everything els went exactly as urs but when try to run it wont work!! it shows error cant connect kex server failed to connect to port 127.0.1:1": unable to connect to socket: no connection could not be made because the target machine actively refused it (10061)
Did any of you run to this error, and has solution for it: Error connecting to the KeX server. Please try "kex start" to start the service. If the server fails to start, please try "kex kill" or restart your WSL2 session and try again. P.S Great video I love your stuff
Have you updated WSL via the command line? If not, open CMD with admin privileges & type: wsl -update It’s 2 dashes for people on looking at this comment on iOS…
I have installed the GUI of kali linux and it was great. I am getting some problem while uninstalling this can anyone help me to uninstall this or suggest any video on how to uninstall
Great video! It's there a way to make WSL and Vmware work together in the same pc? I've read that hyper-V installed with the wsl2 goes in conflict with the virtualization of vmware
You can, I run both. Before starting your VMware VMs, you have to go to Processors under Settings and uncheck the two options under Virtualization Engine.. this is with the paid version of VMware
So, I had issues with virtualbox 6.1.28 after enabling virtual engine in the BIOS. Many others did, too. I believe it is fixed in v-box 6.1.32, but I fixed mine differently. On the Oracle help threads, there are 2 threads dedicated to the issue. At the time, I had the error code available to me and was able to search help that way (I don't remember the error code), but the fix was a 1 line command in cmd (again, I don't remember). My point is, I believe it's totally doable, and if it doesn't work, there is a lot of help on Oracles site (if you're using virtualbox, not VMware). What I'm wondering is if I need to update my WSL installation to WSL2 somehow, or if it would have done that in the background. Also, if WSL2 could have an impact on NPCAP, (for packet capturing via Wireshark or snort).
Thank you so much, David, for the great tutorial. I love it. I tried exactly the way you have instructed in your tutorial on my Windows 11 Pro laptop. When I typed the kex command that you have shown it just goes back to the command prompt after an error message that says -bash: kex: command not found What am I not doing right? Thanks for your time!
Sir. I entered wrong re-enter password 5:20 in kali linux and i uninstalled it and i closed that window ,again i opened .But kali linux from microsoft store its not installing....😕
Hello David, upon ruining the kex --win -s command im getting the below prompt error message from Tiger VNC Viewer How to fix no connection could be made because target machine actively refused it (10061), do you know how to fix that? Thank you,
Could you make a tutorial, or indicate one of how to configure Win-KeX SL correctly? I looked in several places, but I didn't find any that worked correctly.
Hi David , Ive tried installing using this method , my WinKex server wont start. Ive checked to make sure there isn't any firewalls , I'm getting an error. do you know what the problem may be ?
Did you get the large install of Kali? The Kali documentation in Kali's website shows how to install the optional large version. It is just a simple command. sudo apt install -y kali-linux-large. I believe the large version of Kali has more tools. I have Kali on Windows 10 with WSL2 and was able to install the large version of Kali.
Hello, great video, just one question... have you ever used metasploit in this kali over wsl? I was trying to use it some weeks ago and i could initialize the database so i could not do nothing and i went back to my kali partition jeje 😅

Windows 11 is nice, after you replace it with Linux. It is a personal thing, but I don't like Windows more and more. But everyone should use what he like :)
Hi Mr. Bombal, I am a student on one your courses (Wireshark: Packet Analysis and Ethical Hacking: Core Skills) I currently have Kali installed on Virtual box. Just to clarify, does the installation you installed seperate Kali from your main windows 11 computer?
It says *The windows subsystem for linux optional component is not enabled. Please enable it and try again.* I checked the control panel to see if the *windows subsystem for linux* is on and it was. Why is it not working? Edit: worked. I had to restart.
I installed succefully i can play youtube but no sound on my linux coming out9pulse cat connect0.,,,,, Thanks very much for your info i can understand how to interact using powershell ,ubuntu etc,,,,
Please help me, I had installed Kali Linux as you had instructed in the video and now i need to install wifi driver which is compat-wireless driver but while installing that driver in Kali it shows an error :- /sbin/modprobe: invalid option -- 'l' /sbin/modprobe: invalid option -- 'l' Stoping bluetooth service.. Stoping bluetooth : /usr/sbin/bluetooth. bluetooth is not running ... Failed Help me please
Hi. This helped a lot. But I have a problem. There isn't exit full screen in Kali Linux, I tried everything but nothing helped. Can you please help me with this? Thank you
When I run "kex --win -s" why does it bring a Tiger VNC viewer prompt that says "unable to connect to socket: No connection could be made because the machine actively refused it".
I prefer my Virtual Box implementation as I can have the VM on my larger secondary monitor, ability take snapshots, and ability to access my local network. But to each their own. I ended up deleting the kali-linux partition on my W11 machine.
I'm using Win10 and managed to start kali, but no luck on sound. Also kex --win -s doesn't start in windowed mode here. Or --sl in seamless mode. I don't get sound in any of the modes and when I click the speaker icon I get stuck in "establishing connecting to pulseaudio server...". And yes pulseaudio is allowed on public and private networks in windows firewall. :(

Hi. This helped a lot. But I have a problem. There isn't exit full screen in Kali Linux, I tried everything but nothing helped. Can you please help me with this? Thank you
my kex --win -s command isnt working
This worked with no mistakes
When I run "kex --win -s" why does it bring a Tiger VNC viewer prompt that says "unable to connect to socket: No connection could be made because the machine actively refused it".
If you guys are having problems with home just enable virtualization on bios
Awesome. I like this better than virtual box. Do you believe it is as secure and separated from your actual PC as virtual box?
I prefer my Virtual Box implementation as I can have the VM on my larger secondary monitor, ability take snapshots, and ability to access my local network. But to each their own. I ended up deleting the kali-linux partition on my W11 machine.
i dont know why but the wsl --install command is not working in my powershell
it is saying that a connection with the server could not be established
thanks for these lovely topics
I'm using Win10 and managed to start kali, but no luck on sound.
Also kex --win -s doesn't start in windowed mode here. Or --sl in seamless mode. I don't get sound in any of the modes and when I click the speaker icon I get stuck in "establishing connecting to pulseaudio server...". And yes pulseaudio is allowed on public and private networks in windows firewall. :(
good day im learning the machernism used please show how to unistall gui(linux) from windows 11 using console terminals.
Hi Nice video ! Is better have the kali on a VM or with WSL??
How do you mount, connect and manager USBs on Kali Linux using this? I’m trying to connect my HackRF and I can’t figure out how to manage the mounts
