SO you're a bounty hunter with a gaming rig? 🧵
If you don't want to use a VPS or run native (dual-boot Linux) you can install Ubuntu and WSL 2.
(+) You'll (probably) benefit from more memory, cores, and a fast broadband connection.

(+) You'll (probably) benefit from more memory, cores, and a fast broadband connection.
(+) You can eliminate or supplement your VPS costs
(+) Usability is nice (file management, copy-paste)
(-) WSL2 does not yet support raw sockets, so no nmap or masscan
(-) Mass DNS requests (resolver tools like massdns/puredn) will crash WSL DNS for some reason
2/3

2/3
(-) on wsl 1.0 (if you decide to use that) git is painfully slow, including setting up dependencies in large frameworks like reconFTW
(+) ... Your gains in speed per dollar are good. Most gaming rigs equivalent VPS (proc/mem/storage) costs will run you $80-$120 on Digital Ocean

(+) using a VPN/Tor/Proxychains at the Windows level is easy and applies to your Ubuntu setup

(+) Tools that run well in this setup: amass (and other sub scraping tools), web resolution & scanning tools (nuclei, httpx, gau, ++), anything processor-intensive

Green works on WSL2 Ubinut setup, Red has issues due to the aforementioned problems
(you don't see nmap because systems come with it by default)

Overall I think that I'd like to exercise my gaming rigs muscle by moving some tasks to it, especially scanning and scraping.
Will investigate using it as a node for Axiom by @pry0cc for certain tasks in the future.

All this is after a few days of testing. If there are fixes, or additional context (pros/cons) I'll post them in this thread in the future. I don't claim to be a wizard with WSL =P
Happy hacking ;)

So I had to download the newest update to fix some things:
to update to the NEWEST WSL2 you can go here:
catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=…
Let's see if it fixes any of the cons.

Last update.
Many have stated downsides. It's not perfect.
Updating WSL2 updates & fixing the VPN issue (gist.github.com/machuu/7663aa6…) I now have everything running & working for my recon chain.
Will it be my primary? no. I'll use it to supplement my VPS. It was a fun experiment!
