After realizing I wasn’t going to find any other tricks out there, I started trying to solve the problem my own way. So, after going through all the trouble of installing Parrot OS on my Linux subsystem, I was determined to make it work.Īfter tons and tons of searching, I still wasn’t seeing anyone who had made a breakthrough in getting Nmap to work in this environment. One thing is very certain however for me: I cannot work without Nmap. Recently, I began to entertain moving from Linux back to Windows as my main OS and using the versatility of Linux on Windows alongside other great tools like Powershell. The way that the shell interacts with the system just simply isn’t quite right yet, even after a couple of years of developments on this feature, it still can’t run Nmap. You can install Nmap in Bash but when you attempt to run it you’ll be met with a slew of errors. ![]() ![]() TL DR: Use an alias on the WSL side to call to the Windows side.Įver since the release of the Windows Subsystem for Linux, a years long unfulfilled hope of using Nmap in this wonderful environment still lingers.
