We hope you enjoy WSL’d Kali on Windows 10!Īnd now, a quick guide on getting Kali installed from the Microsoft App Store: Getting Kali Linux Installed on WSL We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the WSL team at Microsoft, and specifically and for all the assistance and guidance with which this feat would not be possible. We will update our blog with more news and updates regarding the development of this app as it’s released. 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. This is especially exciting news for penetration testers and security professionals who have limited toolsets due to enterprise compliance standards.

For Windows 10 users, this means you can simply enable WSL, search for Kali in the Windows store, and install it with a single click. For the past few weeks, we’ve been working with the Microsoft WSL team to get Kali Linux introduced into the Microsoft App Store as an official WSL distribution and today we’re happy to announce the availability of the “Kali Linux” Windows application.
