Linux on Windows (WSL2)
Leverage the power of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL 2), Docker, Kali Linux, GPUs and more on Windows 11
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) gives you the power and functionality on Windows. There are so many things you can do now leveraging Linux directly on Windows using WSL2.
You can learn Linux, Docker and other technologies easily using WSL 2. Get started quickly with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) today by joining me on this Linux and Windows adventure.
WARNING: You may encounter issues running WSL 2 with VMware Workstation and VirtualBox. Don't use WSL 2 if you needed nested virtualization with those hypervisors.
This course focuses on the following:
- WSL2 Installation and Setup
- Installation of multiple Linux Distributions
- WiFi Password Cracking Demo using GPUs in WSL, Kali Linux and Hashcat
- Running a GUI version of Linux with WSL and Microsoft Remote Desktop
- Using Windows applications in Linux and Linux applications in Windows
- Leverage Linux commands directly from Windows
- Configurare your Windows Firewall to permit connections to WSL
- Docker using WSL 2
I don't try to teach you everything about Linux, Docker or Windows. I'm only showing you how you can leverage these technologies to do amazing things. This course consists of practical demonstrations which you can follow - the best way to learn is hands-on learning, so follow me and set this up yourself.
