Help with running Speakup on Kali Linux

[Glenn At Home]

Does anyone know which Linux Microsoft is running in the command shell in 
Windows 10?
I wonder if the Windows screenreader works like it does in a regular windows 
command shell, or if SpeakUp needs to be installed.

Another option and one which I have used for learning the console-based kali 
tools and to get familiar with Linux in general would be to run kali in a 
docker container.  If you use jaws or nvda on windows, you can run a 
kalilinux docker container and interact with it using the windows 
screenreader.

I know that takes things like Speakup and brltty out of the mix, but it is a 
quick and dirty solution.

I would further suggest that whatever gui-based security tools Kali provides 
may, or may not be accessible to use.

Regardless, they're all going to drive configurations you can access from 
the console. A short, not necessarily comprehensive list off the top of my 
head would include:

selinux and it's settings
iptables and ip6tables
journalctl (for log access)

Work the above with grep and maybe awk, and you'll be a power user before 
long regardless of what some gui tool might, or might not do.
You'll be doing more, actually.

So, the notion to get Speakup working on the console is absolutely the right 
notion. If you have a braille display you can add into the mix, absolutely 
check out brltty. The two would make a highly persuasive combination, and 
you a security expert if you stick to it and read the source texts.

What you will NOT have is data visualization. For that I'm afraid the 
solutions are a bit more expirimental, though there is sonification that 
might help. How to do that on Linux, I don't know, but I think I know who to 
send you to to ask. So, speak up, as it were! <grin>

Just my suggestion.
