Lxss – Fun with the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL/LXSS)

For example:

LxServer is a simple Win32 (x64) server that waits for connections over the ADSS Bus from a compatible LXSS client (such as lxclient), and launches (WinExec) any input received as long as it fits within MAX_PATH. If needed, it configures the registry to enable ADSS Bus usage from root LXSS binaries other than the init daemon (see presentation slides), after which an initial reboot will be required. LxClient is a simple Linux (ELF) client that connects over the ADSS Bus to a compatible LXSS server (such as lxserver), and sends whatever the input command line argument is (which is expected to be a Win32 valid path to an executable, or other input that WinExec accepts) to the server.
