Show HN: Kali Linux-like environment written in Windows Batch

3 benja2998 0 8/1/2025, 3:01:48 AM github.com ↗

Hello HN, i am the creator of Kali in Batch. This is a project i have been actively working on for months, and i want to show it here.

Kali in Batch creates a Unix-like environment on Windows. It uses subst to assign a drive letter to the root file system located at "%USERPROFILE%\kali", it even has some POSIX functions reimplemented (see https://github.com/Kali-in-Batch/kali-in-batch/blob/master/s...).

I hope anyone reading this can test it and find as many bugs to report as they can so i can improve the software. Please also consider making critiques and suggest improvement and feedback.
