Here are some awesome news from the DFIR and offensive security trenches.
In case you haven’t tried yet, the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) now supports GUI Linux programs displayed alongside other Windows apps.
This is absolutely fantastic for those of us who usually need to go back and forth between Linux and Windows during engagements, and deal with multiple full VMs, file transfers to centralize the data and wished all your favorite tools were all hosted under one single roof.
So wish no more!
Our quick example shows Linux Wireshark and Burp Suite (yes, they also exist in native versions for Windows) running graphically with other Windows apps, even with their own taskbar icons (Note #3), and using Linux internals (network interfaces, addressing scheme, proxy, file system, etc).
The rest is up to your imagination… 😎
Be safe and let’s keep up the fight!
